This possibly means it explains how to program MSVC++, not C++. MSVC++
v6 implements a dialect of C++. Most sources written by "MSVC++ only"
people are not compilable by true C++ compilers. g++ is much more
compliant with the ISO standard.

Have you tried #include "lvp/string.h" ?

(Observe slash orientation)

I don't know what 'anjuta' is, but I hope this does what you want:

// Standard C++ Libray lives on headers without the .h suffix
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main()
{
  // Standard C++ Library names are on namespace 'std'
  // We inject 'cout' and 'end' on the current namespace to save
  // typing 'std::' lots of times
  using std::cout;
  using std::endl;
  
  std::string Name = "LVPress";
  cout.width(7); cout << Name << endl;
  cout.width(9); cout << Name << endl;
  cout.width(11); cout << Name << endl;
  cout.width(13); cout << Name << endl;
  cout.width(11); cout << Name << endl;
  cout.width(9); cout << Name << endl;
  cout.width(7); cout << Name << endl;

  return(0);
}
