I'm running SuSE 6.3 and installed gcc, libgcc, libgpp, gpp 
and docs.
gcc hello.c - worked fine.
g++ hello.cpp - couldn't find the files in /usr/include/g++ 
and then gave...
 
majp@obsidian:~/cpp > g++ -I /usr/include/g++ 
hello.cpp
In file included from 
/usr/include/g++/iostream.h:31,
from /usr/include/g++/iostream:6,
from hello.cpp:1:
/usr/include/g++/streambuf.h:403: invalid type `void *' 
for default argument to
`ios *'
In file included from 
/usr/include/g++/iostream:6,
from hello.cpp:1:
/usr/include/g++/iostream.h:50: invalid type `void *' 
for default argument to `ostream *'
/usr/include/g++/iostream.h:123: invalid type `void *' 
for default argument to `ostream *'
/usr/include/g++/iostream.h:231: invalid type `void *' 
for default argument to `ostream *'

I know that it is going to be something obvious, but I'm new and my eyes 
hurt I've been trying to find the answer for so long. Help would be much 
appreciated.

You may need to install some includes. It may be that suse has a split 
package for include file. Look for it.

Normally you don't need to specify an include path for iostreams, etc, but it 
shouldn't be a problem to do so. try
	g++ -v hello.cpp
to lookup exactly where g++ looks for include files. On some systems the 
correct include path is /usr/include/g++-2 or "g++-v2" or something similar. 
It looks like the files in /usr/include/g++ is broken.
