gcc pathing problem?

[Joel Goguen]

I'm with Ziyad on this one, what command are you using to compile?  And
what version of GCC are you using?  Just for curiosity's sake, let us
know the command you're using to compile your test file and also run 
	g++ --version
and give only the first line of the resulting output.  It should look
something like this:
	g++ (GCC) 4.0.1 20050517 (prerelease) (Debian 4.0.0-7ubuntu6~5.04ubp1)

Here's what I did from the first code sample you gave:
-- Changed '#include <iostream.h>' to '#include <iostream>' since you
don't need the .h suffix here.
-- added 'using namespace std;' right under that, to save me from adding
'std::' in front of every cout (I'm lazy :) )
-- compiled using the command 'g++ test.cpp' which compiled using GCC
3.3.5
-- ran the resulting a.out executable
-- recompiled using 'g++-4.0 test.cpp' and ran that executable
I got identical outputs for both:
----
The size of an int is:          4bytes
The size of a short             2bytes
The size of a long is:          4bytes
The size of a char is:          1bytes
The size of a float is:                 4bytes
The size of a double is:                8bytes
