thanks for helping with this problem

I am getting errors starting with

fred@debian:~/myPrograms/cpp/practice$ make
cc hello.cpp
/tmp/ccQzQfGH.o: In function `main':
hello.cpp.text+0x27): undefined reference to `std::cout'

**************** the program ****************
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
cout << "Hello, World! I am "
<< 8 << " Today!" << endl;
return 0;
}
************************************************

**************** the make file ****************
hello: hello.o
cc hello.cpp

The current directory (called ".") is not in your path.

Try:
../a.out
