c++ Errors

[jake_harv88]

C++ users,

I am having some pretty basic problems with either my C++ libraries or C++ compilers. I first noticed the problem when I was trying to compile MPICH2, so I went back and tried to compile a very simple "Hello World!" program:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
        cout << "Hello World!" << endl;
        return 0;
}

But when I try compile this with the intel C++ compiler ("icc test.c++) I get this:

/usr/include/c++/3.4.6/iostream(44): catastrophic error: could not open source file "bits/c++config.h"
  #include <bits/c++config.h>
                             ^

compilation aborted for test.c++ (code 4)

Also I only get this error on the head node of our 20 node cluster. So if I ssh to any other node this program compiles just fine. When I try to compile with g++ (g++ test.c++) I get a whole mess of errors, most of it looks like this though:

Any suggestions on what might be the problem here. I thank you in advance for your help!

It looks to me that you haven't installed your compiler correctly: you appear to be missing some files from the C++ standard library.

It looks like you're using either Red Hat or Fedora Core, so I'd suggest checking the documentation for your distribution and double-checking the steps to install the C++ compiler.
