Mandrake 9.0 probs - g++ can't find std??

[Guest murl]

Hi all...

 

I just installed mdk 9.0, and tried to compile some simple c++ code:

 

[jon@brainfart jon]$ cat temp.cpp

#include <string>

 

using namespace std;

 

int main(void){

string joe;

 

joe = "hi";

std::cout << joe << std::endl;

}

 

When I try to compile, I get this error:

 

[jon@brainfart jon]$ g++ temp.cpp

temp.cpp: In function `int main()':

temp.cpp:9: `cout' undeclared in namespace `std'

temp.cpp:9: `endl' undeclared in namespace `std'

 

WTF is going on? Am I missing something? I installed pretty much all the development libs, so I dont know what I'm missing.

 

Thanks!

You already said you will use the std namespace:

 

using namespace std;

 

Then in your cout statement, if you say:

 

std::cout << joe << std::endl;

 

What this translates to is:

 

std::std::cout

 

If I remember well at least... Haven't coded c++ for years.

nahh, that's not the prob, that syntax is ok...

 

It compiles fine on my redhat 7.1 box...

 

I have no clue why it's doing this! Seems like there's a prob with where mdk installs gcc or something??

Try including string.h instead of just string. Namespace std, last I checked, meant you didn't have to put the .h at the end... But then again, my teacher was Korean, so I couldn't understand her.

I have the same problem when Compiling anything. But there again.. I am totally new to Linux...

my box is running on Mandrake 9 too and I get the error messages: STD not found and gtk not found.

the prolem is: I did install all teh development packages available on Mandrake... :-/

>/lib/cpp link is b0rken..do ln -sf /etc/alternatives/cpp /lib/cpp to fix..

 

Wow, Taras!!! THAT WAS THE BUG we found that made my WindowMaker's menu not to work! After manually creating that link, WindowMaker was up and running again!
