Do the error messages appear while compiling or while linking?  Does, for 
example, `gcc -c test.cpp' work without any messages?  If not, it might 
be some source-level error in test.cpp (is that written by you?).

In any case, it's best to post at least one example of the error 
messages.  It is very hard to guess what the problem might be without 
seeing neither the message nor the code that triggered it.

I'd also suggest you use -Wall switch when compiling: it's great in 
detecting errors, especially if you are new to GCC/C++ programming.
