>Description:
Compiling a simple program using a vector of pairs on const strings causes g++ to fail with the following message;

>How-To-Repeat:
#include <string>
#include <utility>
#include <vector>

using namespace std;

int main(void)
{

  vector<pair<const string,const string> > ex;
  ex.push_back ( pair<const string,const string> ( "pair1.1", "pair1.2" ) );
  ex.push_back ( pair<const string,const string> ( "pair2.1", "pair2.2" ) );

}
>Fix:
Using "string" instead of "const string" works correctly,
hence a work around is to not use const.
