i'm attempting to write my vewy first c++ prog.... in order to perform iostream operations, i have to #include <iostream> yes? yes. :p (or iostream.h, depending on tutorial..) however, 'iostream' is not at the top of my include folder. i am using mingw 3.1.0-1 (and have successfully compiled example scripts) - the path for iostream with this install is include/c++/3.2.3 i've tried adding the path to the include statement, putting .h at the end of iostream.. sheesh! should i copy everything from the subfolders and put it in the main folder? what do i have to do here? -- http://home.earthlink.net/~plattermatic http://www.panicnow.net/~xoxos
