It should work if you use g++ -D__STDC_FORMAT_MACROS
The C99 standard said that the macros should not be defined for C++ unless that macro is defined, and the libc headers on CentOS 5 follow that rule. Later C standards removed that rule, so that the macros should be unconditionally defined for C++ programs.
