Your test code is incorrect. I suggest testing with:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
int main()
{
    std::cout << "hello world\n";
}

That might be a bad idea, it depends on how the compiler is supposed to be installed. Especially if this is an old version of the compiler, you might want to just change to a newer and more standard conformant compiler such as the MinGW port of g++ or the compiler that comes with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 or 2008 Express.

main()
Is not valid in C++. All functions must return a type.
I would follow on laserlight's advice and get a better IDE. Here's some free ones: http://cpwiki.sf.net/Integrated_Development_Environment

You should also include <iostream>, not <iostream.h> and use std::cout.
