Hi all,

I'm new to Eclipse and have already run into an irritating problem. Whenever I try to build a project, I get an error stating "Symbol 'cout' could not be resolved". My code is posted below:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	cout << "Hello World!";
}

I'm running on Debian 8.1 Jessie, and using the Linux GCC toolchain and CDT Internal Builder. My included directories are:

/usr/include/c++/4.9
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/c++/4.9
/usr/include/c++/4.9/backward
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.9/include
/usr/local/include
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.9/include-fixed
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu
/usr/include

Any help solving this would be appreciated.

There's an Eclipse CDT forum to post in.

This problem affects me for a while. Even after Googling many resources. Finally I removed everything in $WORKSPACE$ and recreate the project. It just works for me. Eclipse upsets me a lot this time
