You say string.h here, but the errors below say cstring. So, I'm a little confused. > He compiled the code in gcc-3.4.1 under Mandrake.

If this is the case and you change all includes of the type #include <string.h> to #include <cstring> and add a line such as this using namespace std; to each C++ file, I think you'll be good to go.
