Hi Jeff, GCC's g++ compiler is warning you that there are deprecated header files being used. Convert those header files to the ISO 14882-1998 standard. Stroustrup's C++ Programming Language, 3rd or Special editions has more information. Basically... #include <iostream.h> ...is out, replaced with... #include <iostream> using namespace std; Make sure your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable has the path location of your libstdc++.so.5 shared library.
