libstdc++: where is ios_base?

[buter]

Hello,

Don't know if this is the proper forum, but I try anyway.

Say I am trying to compile the folling code on a frozen Debian:

        #include <string>
        #include <iostream>

        using namespace std;

        int main()
        {
                cout.setf(ios_base::hex, ios_base::basefield);
                        for (int i=int('a'); i <= int('z'); i++)
                                        cout << "'" << char(i) 
                                             << "' = " << i << endl;
        }

The compiler will halt with:

        g++ -O2 -Wall -c ex1.cpp
        ex1.cpp: In function `int main()':
        ex1.cpp:8: `ios_base' undeclared (first use this function)
        ex1.cpp:8: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
        ex1.cpp:8: for each function it appears in.)
        ex1.cpp:8: parse error before `::'
        make: *** [ex1.o] Error 1
        (3 of 7):  `ios_base' undeclared (first use this function)

Now I have been poking around the include files, and I do find references
to ios::hex instead of ios_base::hex. Is this because an older version of
libstd++ is used, or am I including not enough headers?

Hope someone knows an answer,

Regards,
