If you give your program a proper C++ extension (.C, .cc, .cpp, .cxx),
RHIDE (at least the latest version) will automatically link the C++
libraries.  Note that case is important.  The last I heard, RHIDE
doesn't force you to manually specify where to find C++ headers,
especially since it doesn't do the work; gcc does.

If you want to do things from the command line, you need merely use
'gxx' instead of 'gcc' to compile C++, or manually add the C++ libraries
(any combination of '-lgpp', '-liostr', and '-lstdcx').

If gcc/gxx isn't finding your C++ headers or libraries, then you have an
installation problem; read chapter 6.12 of the FAQ or use RHIDE's bug
report facility.
