But iostream.h isn't meant for C programs, it's meant for C++ programs.
So you should change the filename to one ending in .cc or .cpp instead
of .c and use gxx instead of gcc.

It looks as if you may not have all the C++ files installed anyway,
in which case you should go to http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/ and
use to zip-picker to tell you what files you need.

Alternatively, you could just use C.
