errors using iostream with C++ netbeans
 

I am just now trying to begin to learn C++.

I installed Netbeans and tried the simple "hello world" example

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

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

At first I did not find the iostream library, but now that I have i get the error

"expected _ or "" before std"

What does it mean? Do I have got an incorrect version of iostream?

I found that I had more than one iostream.

Now I get this kind of messages

The errors are signalled in code lines internal to the iostream file:

extern istream cin; ///< Linked to standard input
extern ostream cout; ///< Linked to standard output
extern ostream cerr; ///< Linked to standard error (unbuffered)
extern ostream clog; ///< Linked to standard error (buffered)
