I've experienced a similar type problem simply opening a file and writing 
something to it---in fact, it shows up as a link error.  For example,

#include <iostream.h>
#include <fstream.h>

main()
{
  ofstream( "test.out");
  cout << "Hello World\n";

  return 0;
}

This causes a link error which implies that there are no overloaded operators 
"<<" defined for ofstream for type const char*.  I'm using the GNU C++ 
compiler on a HP-UX 10. system. But if I use the standard C approach using 
"fopen(...", it works fine. I'd appreciate any useful information in 
straightening this out.
