Please use the appropriate compiler driver (for bo it doesn't really matter,
for hamm it matters a lot). In the case of C++, that's `g++'. (For hamm,
`g++' comes in a package of its own, appropriately called `g++'; that
package has proper dependencies to ensure you'll install the C++ libraries
too)

The `g++' compiler driver will add the necessary directories to the include
path and will link your program with the standard C++ library.

There is no reason to compile as root. In general, do not use the root
account for stuff you can do as a regular user (reading mail, news,
compiling packages, etc.).
