How are you compiling it? (ie. command-line or IDE?) To create a simple
C++ "Hello World!" program under linux, do this:
In your favorite editor, start the file "hello.cpp" and type this in:
#include <iostream.h>
void main(void)
{
cout << "Hello World!\n";
// include these two lines so that the program "pauses"
// and doesn't just flash by -- waits for a key to be
// pressed before it continues (ends)
cout << "\nPress any key to continue...";
cin.get();
}
Save the file, and then on the command line, do this:
g++ -o hello hello.cpp
now make the file 'hello' executable by doing this:
chmod a+x hello
now run the file:
./hello
See if that works...

Nope, doesn't work with that either. This is *really* fscked up. I'd think
that the best Linux distro would allow me to write a frigging "hello world"
program in C or C++.
