Yes.

: I tried a simple program:
: #include <iostream.h>
: main()
: {
:     cout << "Hello, World";

You really should give more information - it's difficult to troubleshoot
without knowing the exact error message and command line used.

General points:

1) cin and cout are C++, so you should save your source code
as a .cc file and use gxx to compile it.

2) Your main() function doesn't return; it should (just put `return 0;'
at the end). It is also better to write `int main()' instead of `main()'
(or maybe this is just my personal preference?).

On my system the program compiles as quoted above, using gxx to compile 
and link, without errors or warnings, though.
