Mark,
Ok...I did a little checking around on my system and I found a program
that will find the file and return it's system path to the screen. But
there are a few things that you have to do before you can do the search.
1) open a terminal window
2) 'su' and become root
3) on the command line type: slocate -u <ENTER>
this will create a index of all the files on your file system. Don't
worry it's perfectly safe.
4) exit from being root by typing 'exit' on the command line and hitting
<ENTER>
5) issue this command on the command line:
slocate -l 0 iostream.h
the program will return the FS path statement to the screen of ever
instance of the file's existance on your system.
slocate = program name performing the search
-l (lower case L) = sets the security level it can be either a 0
(zero) or a 1 (one). The zero turns security off and affords a much
faster search.
iostream.h = the file being searched for
All this info was quickly gleaned from searching the 'man' pages on the
system that are installed when the system is installed. I started by
viewing the man pages for 'find' which led me to slocate which got the
job done.
Linux ROCKS!
