Your C++ source files should have a .C or .cc extension -- this is how gcc
knows what to compile them as.  If it thinks it's compiling C++, it will
look in /usr/include/g++ by default.

You'll probably find it useful to run 'g++' rather than plain old 'gcc' to
compile C++ -- the former automatically links against libg++ whereas gcc
doesn't.
