The problem is that your STL library is very non-standard. Try and make a symbolic link from ostream to ostream.h. If that fails consider using STLport. Georg Baum and Martin Vermeer seem to have it working with your compiler. However, Jean-Marc cannot get things working for him. See what your mileage is. (Ask questions of these people to ascertain just what you need to do.) -- Angus
