Dear Roberto,

Your program has several problems, but the first thing you should find
out is where did you install the PPL and why your g++ does not find
the ppl_c.h header file.
All the best,

     Roberto

P.S.  Then you should decide whether you want to use the PPL via its C++
       interface or via its C interface.  Moreover, please do not use PPL 0.9
       for any new project, use a snapshot of PPL 0.10 instead:
