Your problem is that the definition of what is a valid C++ program has
changed since you wrote that code, and recent versions of GCC are now
quite picky that you follow the current definition.

Google for "using namespace std;" and you'll find lots of references
to this problem.

You'll eventually want to get an up-to-date textbook and go through
all your code to update it to ISO Standard C++.
