Well, I would guess that you're compiling a C++ file.  In order to get 
the iostreams to work, you need to explicity link in the C++ library.  
Seeing as how gcc is a one pass linker, you need to link in the C++ 
libary at the end of the command line.  So try this:

gcc -g -o blah -c blah.cc -lgpp

I think this should work.  If this doesn't work, look in the FAQ under 
Compile Time Problems, and I know it explains it there (I had this 
problem just yesterday, in fact).
