Help needed compiling using gcc

When you compile a C file, iostream.h is not in the include path: that
is a C++ header, only. If a file has a .c extension, gcc will treat it
as a C file.

Here, you really should compile the program using 'g++' instead of
'gcc', since that will link the standard C++ library.
