I have changed my system from gentoo to openSuSE, so I'm starting with  
a clean slate, so to speak. And there really is no iostream.h on my  
system:

gcc --version
gcc (SUSE Linux) 4.3.2 [gcc-4_3-branch revision 141291]

% locate iostream.h

% locate iostream
/usr/include/c++/4.3/iostream

gcc3.3 is available for this system, so I could try with this older  
version.
