compilation error on Fedora 17 with gcc version - 4.7.2 20120921 (Red Hat 4.7.2-2)

[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 ?
