#include <exception>

Don't try to look this file in /usr/include/g++-3/. Its found in the
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/target/version/include.

This is the root of all exception and is defined by the C++ language
not the stl library. Exceptions provided by the standard C++ library
are defined in <stdexcept> header. This includes out_of_range,
invalid_argument, overflow_error.
