That's because you need to do 'g++ test.cpp'.  

I just tried it to make sure that was the difference.  The g++ makes 
assumptions about the nature of the program to be compiled, that it is 
C++ code, but gcc makes different assumptions.  (That it's C code, I 
believe.)  If you're using the streams, use 'g++'.


See ya around the Mulberry bush.
