You do not show the comand line that you used.  I suspect that you named 
your 'hello' program hello.c even though it contains C++ code and the 'C' 
parser does not know what to do with it.  You probably should have called 
the file hello.cc.  Also use gxx, not gcc, to link C++ modules as it 
includes the C++ libraries implicitely.

If this is not the case post the exact command line(s) that you have invoked.
