I can think of three possible reasons for this:

(1) You gave the file a name ending in .c (instead of .cpp or .cc)
    and you compiled with gcc (instead of gpp).  This would cause
    the compiler to think it was a C program, and not look in the
    C++ include directory.

(2) You haven't installed the C++ parts of DJGPP.  You should have
    a lang\cxx directory (which contains the iostream file, among
    other things).

(3) You have a very old version of DJGPP.  (For C++ you really need
    the latest version of the GNU compiler.)

If you can't get it working, you may be better off removing everything
and downloading the latest stuff from http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/
- use the zip-picker to help you decide which files you need and
remember to select C++.  The versions of DJGPP supplied with books
often seem to cause problems.
