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.
