you neglected to mention some key information such as the version of gcc 
you are using and the platform you are using.

did you extract the files in windows 9x using something like winzip? if 
so, the short name of streambuf.h would be something like streamb~1.h. 
that might cause problems if you then run gcc in plain DOS (as opposed to 
the command prompt).

note that the old-style headers are now deprecated. you should use 
<iostream> rather than <iostream.h>, and explicitly pull in the names 
from the std namespace (esp if you are using gcc 3.x, but still good 
practice even with the older versions).

without some more information, there isn't much else that comes to my 
mind. did you try compiling the same file from the command line? what is 
the extension of your source file?

Sinan.
