Since ANSI 99 (I think), the use of headers ended in .h is considere 
obsolete, since they don't use the namespace, a feature included in the 
headers which have no extension.
If you want use the obsolete headers, you can add to the include path 
the folder /include/c++/3.2/bacward.
If you use the modern headers, you have to consider they use namespace 
(read about them in some book), so you have to either place the line 
using namespace std; before the code using the standard variables, 
functions and members, using them preceded with std:: or place the lines 
using 
std::the_name_of_function_or_variable_or_whatever_of_the_std_namespace_you'll_use.
