Still the same errors. As Dirk pointed out, putting iostream first makes 
the errors go away in either case.

I'm just using iostreams for debugging purposes, not part of the code per 
se. Since I am trying to write an R wrapper for a prexisting C++ library, 
I already have print functions using iostreams, which I would prefer to 
reuse if possible. For my limited needs, iostreams works fine.

I also use g++, and would be interested in seeing your code in any case.

Thanks.                                                          Faheem.
