DJ-Gateway: from newsgroup comp.os.msdos.djgpp

Skinny:
OS: Dos 7.0 (Win95)
DPMI: CWSDPMI
DJGPP: V2, djdev, gcc 2.7.2, bnu 2.5.2, gpp 2.7.2, libgpp 2.7.1
Installed to D:\DJGPP

Code:
// test.cpp
#include <iostream.h>

main()
{
  cout << "This is a test.\n";
  return 0;
}

Errors:
At compile time, this gives undefined reference errors for 'cout' and 
'ostream::operator<<(char const *)'.

DJGPP.ENV is properly specified in the environment, and is correct.  cpp 
properly preprocesses; the error apparently occurs at link time, judghing 
by the output of gcc -v -o test.exe test.cpp.

If the character literal is changed to an integer literal (cout << 8;) 
the second error becomes 'ostream::operator<<(int)'.

This is apparently a problem with either iostream.h or libgpp.  Am I 
misusing the cout stream, or does G++ handle iostreams differently than 
other versions of C++?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
