C++ Header files missing
 

Hi guys,
Recently i typed a C++ prg. When i compiled it gave alot of errors but the first two errors were
"iostream.h:No such file or directory" and
"fstream.h:No such file or directory".

I doing a little bit of fielhandling in the program. I think the remaining errors are due lack of these files. I have alreaady installed gcc,g++ and build-essential. Still i am getting these errors.
Please help.......
Thanks in advance.......

Aren't C++ headers just iostream and fstream without the .h?

New GCC (which is in the recent distros) doesn't have iostream.h and so on. Only iostream is available.

You either need to install an old version of g++ (g++-4.1 seems to work)
or use <iostream> and <fstream> instead of <iostream.h> and <fstream.h>

Apparently the .h versions were deprecated and later removed entirely.
