The errors indicate that you are writing in c++. Are you invoking the
compiler as g++? Do you have the right header files for c++? Are you using a
new enough version of gcc (you need 2.9.something, the one that was until
recently distributed as egcs) that it works right with C++?
Don't believe the documentation when it says that you can invoke it as gcc
and it will figure out the source language. Doesn't work reliably (for me,
doesn't work at all).
When you report errors with compiles, it's good practice to include the
command line you used to invoke the compiler. For a program as short as
"Hello World", including source would even have been reasonable.
