I just thought I'd get to one of these before John does -smile-.  void
is not a valid return type for main().  main() must always return an
integer: int main(void) for example.

Have you downloaded the files needed to compile C++ code?  Assuming you
have, gcc doesn't automatically link the C++ libraries.  The simplest
solution is to compile with gxx rather than gcc.  gxx automatically
links the correct C++ library.

I think (but am not certain) that interrupt is a non-standard extension
that some compiler makers include to facilitate writing interrupt
handlers.

Section 8.7 of the FAQ discusses the C++ question.
