That's very interesting.  No matter what I did, I was unable to
reproduce your exact results, although I saw plenty of slightly
different errors.  Perhaps it's because I'm using gcc 2.8.0 and you're
still using 2.7.2.1.  In any case, the solution is simple:  you must
link all required C++ libraries when you compile.  To use the String
class, you have to link with both -lstdcxx and -lgpp.

You have two other problems in your code:  in order to use cout, you
should #include <iostream.h> (even though it is included already by
<_string.h>), and void is not a legal return type for main().
