This is related to the thing I posted a few days ago, where one of my 
programs refused to compile. At the time I noted that the only thing that 
had changed was that I had split the program into two source files. In 
fact, there was one more significant change - I was using gcc/gpp 2.9.5 
instead of 2.8.1. I am pretty sure the test program below would work on 
2.8.1, but on 2.9.5 it doesn't compile:


#include <allegro.h>

#include <string>

int main (void)
{
    string my_string = "Hello";

    allegro_init();

    set_gfx_mode (GFX_AUTODETECT, 320, 200, 0, 0);

    textout (screen, font, my_string.c_str(), 0, 0, 
makecol(255,255,255));

    exit (0);
}
