stupid g++ question

[jj at lcs.mit.edu (John Jannotti)]

I don't know the exact problem, but the error output you show is probably
not from the shortened source that you show.  It is complaining about
identifiers (and line numbers) that don't exist in your source.  Perhaps
you shortened the source after generating the error?

Certainly the source you show compiles fine for me under g++.

shrub:~> cat hello.cc
#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
        cout << "Hello, world!" << "\n";
}
shrub:~> g++ hello.cc
shrub:~> ./a.out 
Hello, world!
shrub:~> g++ -v
