If you are dealing with C++ the language standard changed several
years ago, and you are using an old installation, possibly from
the CDRom in the book.  You would be well advised to get an
uptodate installation starting from <http://www.delorie.com>. 
Remove the ".h" from the #include statements as a first step.  The
Conversion.o probably means you haven't compiled a module named
Conversion (watch out for capitalization, C and C++ are case
sensitive languages).

As a general rule 'for dummies' books are from and by.
