We installed the packages needed to compile linux programs with BL2 and 
tried to compile a small program from the C++ book using gcc.

The compiler cannot find any of the *.h files in the g++-2 subdirectory
unless you compile with g++ instead of gcc.  It came with one of the 
packages that we installed.

You also need to rewrite most of the C++ code from what is given in the
text book Programming with C++ because apparently g++ and the compiler
used in the book (for Windows?) speak rather different dialects.  Still
working on trying to write a program that will print out one short 
sentence.

So gcc is apparently not capable of compiling C++ programs but g++ 
is if you write them properly for this specific compiler.  For instance, 
you have to add include <stdio.h>.
