Sorry for the lack of information I hope this makes the situation more clear. I'm using Ubuntu Linux 8.04 and every current stable patch kernel wise. GCC is version 4.3 Remaining info is as follows.

//Sample Code

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
    cout <<"Hello World";
    return 0;
}

//Error message copied from terminal
