When compiling C/C++ code you must tell the compiler exactly which libraries you are using. The first step is with the preprocessor to include the header files. The second step is with the linker to tell it where the functions/classes are actually implemented.
If you really want to use gcc instead of g++ for compiling C++ code make sure you specify the options -Xc++ and -lstdc++ on the command line. The g++ wrapper does this for you.
