I've installed the Ubuntu installation of Eclipse, including the C/C++ module. However, Hello World will not compile, not least because the include file <iostream> cannot be found (and there may well be other things missing too). What other files, libraries, etc do I need to install or enable for C++ to work and where do I get them?

The documentation refers to a GNU toolchain. When I look in the Synaptic Package Manager under GNU, there are 1,750 different packages. Which do I need and is there anything else?

You need the g++ (compiler etc.) and the gdb (debugger) package.

I had the compiler installed but I've since found out that I also need the Debian build-essential package. Installing that works. Just a pity this isn't referred to in the Eclipse documentation.
