But does it exist in /usr/include? That is where the compiler looks for
it. To compile programs on a RedHat system you need the -devel rpms for
each of the libraries the program uses. In the case of c++, that is
glibc-devel and libg++-devel, as well as glibc- and libg++. These are
all included in the standard RedHat distro, but you led the install to
believe you didn't want some of them. A compiler is useless without
libraries. You can use rpm -q to see if you have a package, or
rpm -qa |grep <package name> or rpm -qa |less.

This is not a version of gcc at all. If you have the source of gcc-2.1
installed, you can use this file to update ("patch") it to gcc-2.2.1.
Both these versions of gcc are thoroughly obsolete. There is nothing
wrong with the gcc you have. It just needs libraries and header files
to work with.
