gcc cant find iostream

[Jürgen Eisele]

Hi,
I use the gcc compiler under SuSE-Linux 7.1. I have trouble using commands
from the iostream library.
When writing e.g.
  
#include <iostream.h>
 main()
{ 
cout << "Something";
} 
  
and compiling with gcc -o out out.cc -liostream
  
I get the error message:
/usr/i486-suse-linux/bin/ld cannot find -liostream
and omitting the -liostream the error message is:
undefined reference to cout.
  
So the compiler cannot find the iostream library, which however there and
is located in usr/include/g++/ 
  
Do you know how to make the compiler find the library?
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
Jürgen
