gcc 3.2-7 problem
 

i have a problem, i recently installed redhat 8 and i was testing the g++ compiler, i used the basic hello world program,

#include <iostream>


int main()
{
std::cout << ¨Hello World¨ << std::endl;
return 0;
}

when i compile i get this error;

0.0.cpp: In function `int main()':
0.0.cpp:6: stray '\302' in program
0.0.cpp:6: stray '\250' in program
0.0.cpp:6: stray '\302' in program
0.0.cpp:6: stray '\250' in program
0.0.cpp:6: `Hello' undeclared (first use this function)
0.0.cpp:6: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function
it appears in.)
0.0.cpp:6: parse error before `<<' token

i believe it is not locating the header files which are in /usr/include/c++/3.2

can some one please help me resolve this problem?



BTW: all development packages are installed

Sounds like you have some (unprintable) non-ASCII chracters in your program's text. Easiest thing to do (with such a short program) is to open a new file, retype it, and see if it works after that.

i tried doing what you said but still the problems are still there :cry:

I'm not sure, but your problem seems to be analog to :

HTH

Replace those double quotes with real double quotes. Should be ascii character 34.

i copy and pasted some code from a site the same hello world program and eureka! it worked, so it is an ascii problem.

so anyway to resolve the ascii problem?

do not worry i have figured it out! hoorah! :D ;)

i just has to press alt + shift + "

thanks a lot for your help! :)

Hmm, you shouldn't have to do that. Maybe you're using the wrong keyboard map or something? Or a dodgy editor (less likely).
