I don't know anything at all about ifstream or any C++, but I have had
the exact same problem with the OR character after recently installing
DJGPP.  I had the same error message.

I posted a message asking for help on this a few weeks back and
obtained the answer from someone else.

The problem seemed to be that the wrong character was being used for
the OR symbol. ( I think the 0335 (octal) is wrong and should have
been something else).  I think the problem could have come from the
fact that I'm using a UK keyboard with the setting changed in the
config.sys file.  Are you using a UK keyboard ?

My problem was solved by using the key to the left of the number 1
with the Right-Alt key.  This was instead of using shift with the key
to the left of Z.  They seem to use different characters - a bit
strange.
