There is one other subtle point than can come up 
here, and that is if you are compiling a C++ program,
in general, the command you need to invoke is g++,
not gcc, i.e.

g++ waynesadolt.cpp

or whatever variant you are using for the program.
g++ does some operations behind the scenes to deal with
the program being a c++ program.

Here is a decent link that will bring you up to
speed on standard header notation in C++:

Hope my babbling has helped...
