Posting the exact error  message and the original file would be helpful
here.

Well, you should either invoke gxx instead of gcc when compiling 
c programs, or, manually specify the c++ libraries by doing

gcc file.c -lstdcx -liostrm 

iostream may be mispelled, if you run gxx with -v option it will 
show exact library name.
