Compiling C++ programs

[mattsiegman]

I can't seem to compile any C++ (or C for that matter) programs on the servers. I keep getting errors like this:

jailshell-2.05a$ g++ ./text.cpp
./text.cpp:1:20: iostream: No such file or directory

I don't understand why it doesn't work, iostream is a standard library. I tried including stdio, stdio.h, iostream, iostream.h and they all failed.

Any ideas?

Um... why do you have that './' in there? Why not just:

g++ text.cpp

[mattsiegman]

I tried that too same error.

Has anybody looked into this?

The standard libraries are not working on my shell account.

I'm trying to compile a Hello World program, straight from Bjarne Stroustrup's website. I mean, I'm pretty sure that the error isn't on my side...

I don't have access to the ticket system, it's under my dad's reseller account.
