    Iostream not working

    Whenever I try to compile a prgram with #include <iostream.h>, it says:

    In file included from c:\dev-c_~1\program.cpp:3:
    C:\DEV-C_~1\Include\iostream.h:37: istream: No such file or directory
    C:\DEV-C_~1\Include\iostream.h:38: ostream: No such file or directory


    I'm using Dev C++ 4.

    Guess you're missing some files from your header dir, try
    to reinstall dev

    iostream is a network of headers, not just iostream.h, anyway
    consult the dev compiler forum for this problem
    Maybe i really doesn't have iostream and using something else

    Re: Iostream not working

    C:\DEV-C_~1\Include\iostream.h:38: ostream: No such file or directory
    After last #include<>, insert "using namespace std;" in a new line.
    I got the same problem in g++, this can remedy.
    But I'm not sure for Dev-C++, just try it.

    Maybe dumb to you, but if i don't use the ".h" on the end i get the exact same error he does. Soon as i add it back on it works fine.

    no not that, the second line you said. the first one is quite reasonable, and depends upon the exact organization of header files in your standard library.

    but how could your VC++ .h help him??

    oooo that part, because when i read through i was also having a conversation on AIM with someone working in VC++ and i got my thoughts mixed, and when i a header was asked for i didn't think bout it too much.

    My apologies on the misconception.
