This sounds rather as if you are mixing versions of GCC and its
libraries.  With GCC 2.8.1 (which you should be using), libiostream
isn't even included.  Thus, if you have one, it must come from GCC
2.7.x, and hence won't work with 2.8.x.  2.8.x is supposed to use
libstdcxx *only*.

Then, the question to be investigated is why libstdcxx doesn't work for
you.  Since you already have mixed versions, it could be that your
headers are old as well, or perhaps libstdcxx itself.

If you don't have a lot of stuff done to your present DJGPP
installation, it might be simplest to nuke it and start afresh.  Get all
the latest files; the Zip Picker at www.delorie.com might help here.

And if you have trouble with RHIDE searching for libstdcx.a (one x) and
not finding it, see FAQ section 8.7.
