Lo there, Yes I am a total Linux Newbie.

I've just finished installing RedHat 9 and teaching myself the first steps.
eg. mounting usb drive
using basic terminal commands ls,man,grep,su etc...

Yer I know small step on long road, anyway I want to write some C programs and have look into gcc. But gcc will not find its headers
Ive tried gcc -v hello.c
and it told me it was looking for headers in

/usr/local/include
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.2/include
/usr/include

however when I search for iostream.h it is located in
/usr/include/g++-3
/usr/include/c++/3.2.2/backward

now ive tried copying the files out of these directores into /local/include but ust loads of errors.

When I installed redhat I chose the development option ..any ideas???

Cheers

Find out what file tells GCC where to look for headers, and change that instead of moving files around.

I´m a newbie too, but this has worked for me in Yum.

ok sounds good, any idea where I should start looking?
all the programs are spread out on linux and I havent been using it long enough to understand where and why things are kept in the places they are.
