You need to 'use' the std namespace, either with a 'using' statement:\

using namespace std;

Or else you need to qualify the cout references:

        std::cout

Eg:

// myfirst.c --displays a  message
#include <iostream>   
int main(void)
{
      std::cout << "come up and C++ me sometime.";
      std::cout << "\n";
      return 0;
}
