No, the results are totally different: this time you see a genuine 
compiler error message which quite rightfully tells you there is a bug in 
your program:

	src\\stars2.cc: In function `int main()':
	src\\stars2.cc:7: `string' undeclared (first use this function)

And the culprit is this line:

	#include <string.h>

It should say this instead:

	#include <string>

or this:

	#include <std/string.h>

If you use source code from some C++ book, be sure to check that the 
headers they mention are indeed what the program expects.  Since C++ has 
no ANSI standard yet, some details may vary between different compilers 
and even between different versions of the same compiler.
