 This is not a bug, though the error message is
 somewhat misleading. Gcc 3.0 is much closer 
 to c++ standard then 2.95, so <string> header 
 does not define class string in the global 
 namespace anymore.
 
 Either write 
     typedef std::string StringType;
 or
     using std::string; // just after including <string>
