Thanks for the help - it does compile with g++ instead of gcc, but the executable produced isn't doing anything. Here's what i'm doing:
//test.c #include <iostream.h> main(){ cout << "Hello there."; } The test file doesn't print out anything when I run it. Also, I was wondering if this was a descrepency in versions of gcc. The installaition I had before (using the main parts of the Slackware dist.) compiled both c and c++. Like somehow it knew which way to process it.
