I beleive the header you want is cstdlib.



Yes, that works.



euler.cpp: In function `int main(int, char**)':
euler.cpp:21: error: `string' undeclared (first use this function)
euler.cpp:21: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
for each function it appears in.)
euler.cpp:21: error: parse error before `;' token


string is in the std namespace so try std::string or add "using
namespace std;" near the top of your file.



Okay, that works too, and it takes care of the "deprecated" warnings too
when I was using the header files 'iostream.h' and 'fstream.h' (instead
of the more current and correct 'iostream' and 'fstream').

I hadn't realized that there are new ANSI C++ standards for specifying
the inclusion of headers in your code (at least they are new to me!!).
Since I don't program all that much, this was the first trouble I had when I encountered them. I will have to read up on these to avoid
further difficulties in the future.


Many thanks for your help!




-----
Despite the fact that the header file "string" is located in the
directory /usr/include/c++/3.3.3 the compiler seemingly can't locate
it.  This is puzzling since it lists this path in the #include
search path above.  Even placing the source code into the
/usr/include/c++/3.3.3 directory and trying to compile it there gives
the same error.  What am I overlooking here, or not understanding?


Why do you think it was not found, the compiler did not output any error
messages indicating this.

I was assuming that it wasn't found based on the error messages

'euler.cpp:21: error: `string' undeclared (first use this function)
euler.cpp:21: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in.)'


that I was getting.  However, with the directive you gave me (the
"using" above), everything seems to have cleared up.  Once again, I
must read up on the new standards and their proper usage.

Thanks again!

Russ
