[Sharwan Joram]

Hello ,
I'am trying to compile a small test program on my Linux box (fedora 17) with gcc version - 4.7.2 20120921 (Red Hat 4.7.2-2)
but failing with following errors.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout<<"Hello World!\n";
cin.get();
}


------------ Error in compilation ------------

After doing some search on google i found that is is a known issue of 4.7.2 gcc-c++ , but does anyone have a fix for this ?
