I just decided to teach myself C++ with an online tutorial. I've tried at least three different "Hello World" programs, but gcc refuses to compile them. Every time I run it, I get errors like "Undefined reference to 'std::cout'" -- basically, error messages for every line of the source. After a bit of googling, I think that the problem is a lack of standard libraries. My gcc program is in '/usr/bin', and there is a directory, '/usr/bin/libstdc++v3', where I assume the libraries should be. But the only thing in there is a text file describing how to put together a library. Am I assuming correctly that this is where the libraries should be? If so, where can I get some to put in there? If I'm just being stupid and looking in the wrong place, then where are my libraries, and how can I get gcc to recognize them? For reference, this is a brand new Slackware install on a 500 MHz AMD k6.
