Date: Thu, 2 Jan 2003 08:42:26 -0600 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2653.19) Reply-To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com Did you remember to include the standard namespace in your code? Also, did you compile your code with gpp? I would be very careful before starting to call something a bug in the distro, you would be surprised how many people think they know how to write "Hello World", and really do not because: (1) They don't know about the C++ header standards change that means you should #include (2) And, as part of (1), that the function names like cout are now in the standard namespace, so you either have to include using namespace std; or qualify your names, i.e. std::cout (3) Know there is a difference between compiling C++ code with gcc or g++/gpp. Here is a copy of a hello world program I worked on with my boy, it compiles and runs successfully. Compile it with something like gpp hello.cpp #include using namespace std; int main(void) { cout << "Goodnight mommy, see you in the morning\n"; return 0; } Wayne
