Where Oh Where did the Header Files Go

[brahan_7]

Hello All,

I am new to linux.
When I run the gcc compiler for my c++ program it tells me that the <iostream> file can not be found. When I run the compile command using the -v command the compiler tells me what directories it looks in for the "#include <...>" files...basically the compiler is not looking for those files in the correct directory, so gcc does not find the include files and the program doesn't compile. How can I configure gcc to look for the header files in the correct directory. (ie: the -I command only searches for #include "...")

Hi, I just thought I would ask. What directory is gcc looking in? The standard location for iostream.h would be /usr/include/c++/4.1.2 in my case.

Use "g++" instead. This invokes the same program that gcc does, but it is configured for C++ instead.

I am using cygwin and and it build to gcc files into /lib not /usr...
