Can't compile helloworld.C

[Stephen Taylor <stephentaylor950 at yahoo dot com>]

Hi there, 

I'm teaching myself C++ using gcc 2.96 under Red Hat
7.1. I'm desperate for help, because I can't even
compile "Hello World":

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
main()
{
   cout << "Hello World\n";
}

I didn't know where gcc was searching for libraries,
so 
I entered
   gcc -print-search-dirs
and obtained

install: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/
programs:
=/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/:/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/:/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/:/usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/:/usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/:/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/../../../../i386-redhat-linux/bin/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/:/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/../../../../i386-redhat-linux/bin/
libraries:
=/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/:/usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/:/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/../../../../i386-redhat-linux/lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/:/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/../../../../i386-redhat-linux/lib/:/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/../../../i386-redhat-linux/2.96/:/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/../../../:/lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/:/lib/:/usr/lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/:/usr/lib/

To compile, I enter 
   g++ -v -I/usr/include/g++-2 helloworld.C
and obtain
