iostream is a C++ header. Save your source file with .cpp extension
and use g++ instead of gcc for compiling.

Obviously, if you compile a C source file, system C++ header
directories are not taken on account.

The C++ standard requires that every file shall end with a
newline. Add one and the warning will go away.
