I am having a lot of trouble getting rhide to compile even the simplest
C++ programs. When I try to compile the following program:

#include <iostream.h>
void print_volume(char name[],double r)
{
 const double pi = 3.14159165;
 double volume;
 volume = pi * r * r * r  ;
 cout  <<name << "       "<<r<< "       " << volume << endl;  }

 int main()
 { cout << "Planet      Radius       Volume" << endl;
  print_volume("Venus",6161.1);
  print_volume("Earth",6379.8);
  print_volume("Mars ",3397.1);
  return 1;
  }

I get the following error message:

¦ Compiling: a:/old/planet.cpp
¦ a:/old/planet.cpp(1) In file included from
a:/old/planet.cpp:1:              _
¦ c:/djgpp/lang/cxx/iostream.h(91) Error: parse error before
`__extension__'   _
¦ c:/djgpp/lang/cxx/iostream.h(208) Error: parse error before
`__extension__'  _
¦ There were some errors

Does anyone have any ideas on what I'm doing wrong.
