Re: String.h

Hi  GCC gurus,

Thanks Mark, Mike, Carlo and Robert for the responses.

Unfortuantely, I still have nt figured out why my g++ is not putting
/usr/local/lib/g++-include in the include dirs. I tried -I -isystem <dir>
and a few other options; it does not work.

The problem again is my program is not  able to use any of the files
/usr/local/lib/g++-include directory.  g++-include directory does not come
in the path at all. I tried including <string> and <cstring> and they dont
include <String.h> at all.

Simple test program:
----------------------------
unix:/home/alex/ % cat test.cpp
#include <String.h>
int
main ()
{
return 0;
}

Compilation:
----------------
unix:/home/alex/ % g++ test.cpp
launch.cpp:4: String.h: No such file or directory

(More Info)

unix:/home/alex/ % g++  -v launch.cpp

But the file is actually there:

It is a solaris 8, running g++ 2.95.3

I tried configuring my g++ myself (instead of using the sunfreeware binary)
building  and installing, I still get the same error.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks
Alex
