You told the compiler to look for a file named "cstdlib". The compiler
complained that it cannot find a file named "cstdlib".
The fact that you have a file named "stdlib.h" does not help the
compiler in any way.

_IF_ the compiler found "cstdlib" and saw that it contains   #include
<stdlib.h>   then yes, having a stdlib.h would be important.
