Aref, et al --

It appears that you replied only to Sherry after she replied to you, so
I'm stepping into the discussion late...

Actually, the shell's $PATH variable doesn't have to do with your
code's #include directives.  In the case above, you should leave off 
the <> and just specify something like

  #include /path/to/headers/iostream.h

(whereas using <iostream.h> will pick up the *system's* copy of the
header file).

Yep; you probably don't have (and shouldn't have!) '.', or the current
directory, in your path.  Instead of typing

  a.out

to run your program, simply type

  ./a.out

to tell the shell to look in the current directory.

That's probably the best answer :-)
