CM,
On Sunday 10 February 2002 11:09, you said something about:

This is telling you that the code has an error.
Likely just before a ";" ;)

To troubleshoot, you need to check your source code. The gcc supplied by RH
requires ANSI C++ compliance (at least more so then some other versions of
gcc), so you may find source that doesn't compile "out-of-the-box" if it was
not written to comply with the ANSI standard.
Also, if you are "cut-and-pasting" from tutorials on web pages, be aware that
there can sometimes be characters that will cause all kinds of problems when
doing so. It is not a guaruntee, but it can happen.
This compiles fine on my system using a simple "g++ hello.cpp -o hello" (sans
quotes).
#include <iostream.h>
int main ()
{
cout << "Hello World";
return 0;
}
