1) Use #include <iostream> instead of <iostream.h>
2) Are you sure that you didn't misspell 'cout' as 'count' ?
3) If you are using gcc 3.x (check with gcc -v), your code must take into
account that cout is in the std namespace (as the C++ standard says). Write
std::cout or put a line with 'using namespace std;' after the #include
statement.
