After searching around on the net I found that there are many others with the same problem! Obviously the minGW package has an ommission in it, the cstdlib isn't in there where it can be used!

It's not a MinGW problem, it's a problem with your MinGW installation:
it is incomplete.  Download the libgcc DLL that goes with your
compiler version, and everything will be well.  For the latest GCC
version 4.7.2, you will find the DLL here:
