Hello, please can anybody help with this obviously trivial thing ?

I'm using 2.5.7 with MSDOS on pc and having been using it to compile C 
for ages with no troubles I'm just starting to try and compile C++.  I'm 
having trouble with getting anything which uses cin or cout to load.  
I've tried
                      gcc myprog.cc
and
                     gcc -lgpp myprog.cc
with minimal programs but cout is always undefined.  Can anybody easily 
tell me what's wrong ?
Below is an attempt with -lgpp (which it finds) and a prog.   I'm not on 
the list so if it's not too much trouble  please could you reply to this 
address.

Thankyou very much for your time.

int main()
{ cout << "silly\n" ; }


BTW: somebody mentioned 2.5.8.   Should I be using it ? Where can I get 
it from ?
