egcs-1.0 and string class

[Jim Peterson]

Hi,

  I've just installed the egcs-1.0 release, but I can't seem to use the string
  class like I did with gcc-2.7.2.3.  In particular, I type the following:

cat - > t.cc << EOF
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
  string msg="Hello, world!";
  cout << msg << endl;
  return 0;
}
EOF
g++ -v -o t t.cc

  and it responds as follows:

  Is there anything I can do to get string classes to work?  I desperately need
  them to continue working on a rather large project.

Thank you for any help,
