You are using a deprecated header and library.  You must explicitly link
libgpp.a to use it:


#include <iostream>

#include <_String.h>    // requires -lgpp in command line
                        // This non-standard gcc extension predates
                        // the standard <string> and should be avoided
void use_nonstandard(void)
{

    String a;
    String b;
    String c;

    cout << "Using the non-standard gcc <String.h> functionality" << endl;
    a = "Hello World";
    b = ", Goodbye cruel World";
    c = a + b;
    cout << c << endl;
}


#include <string>    // this is the C++ standard header
void use_standard(void)
{
    string a;
    string b;
    string c;

    cout << "Using the C++ standard gcc <string> functionality" << endl;
    a = "Hello World";
    b = ", Goodbye cruel World";
    c = a + b;
    cout << c << endl;
}

int main()
{
    use_nonstandard();
    use_standard();
}
