Problem while including iostream.h in files targetted by ns2.26 make

[Pradyot Dhulipala]

Hi,
I am using ns2.26 with the Makefile using C++ compiler version c++
(GCC) 3.2.2 (Mandrake Linux 9.1 3.2.2-3mdk).
When I use iostream.h in a simple program and compile with c++
everything works except I get a deprecated warning.
Using the find command I get the location of iostream.h as
/usr/include/c++/3.2.2/iostream.
Also in my makefile the list of includes are as follows

INCLUDES = \
-I. \
-I/home/pradyot/ns-allinone-2.26/tclcl-1.0b13
-I/home/pradyot/ns-allinone-2.26/otcl-1.0a8
-I/home/pradyot/ns-allinone-2.26/include
-I/home/pradyot/ns-allinone-2.26/include -I/usr/include/pcap \
-I./tcp -I./common -I./link -I./queue \
-I./adc -I./apps -I./mac -I./mobile -I./trace \
-I./routing -I./tools -I./classifier -I./mcast \
-I./diffusion3/lib/main -I./diffusion3/lib \
-I./diffusion3/lib/nr -I./diffusion3/ns \
-I./diffusion3/diffusion -I./asim/ -I./qs \
-I/usr/include/c++/3.2.2 -I/usr/include/c++/3.2.2/backward \
-I/usr/include/c++/3.2.2/bits

The problem I have is that I can't seem to include iostream.h in my
project files targeted by ns make without getting a whole string of
error messages too lengthy to produce but the gist is as follows.

This is followed by a whole bunch of errors in limits.

If anyone can suggest a soln I would be most grateful.
Thanks,

Yes use <iostream> not <iostream.h>. Despite what your error message say
<iostream.h> is not and never has been a standard C++ header file, it is not
deprecated, it is plain wrong, use <iostream> instead.
