Hi, I ran into some trouble with <string> when compiling on RH 7.1. It seems that on this platform, configure decides that it is OK to use <sstream>, but that it is not OK to use <string>. Subsequently, in formula.C, <sstream> is indirectly included before "LString.h", thereby including <string> as well, causing the #error in "LString.h" to be broken. I think that <sstream> should not be used when <string> is not being used. The simplest way I could find to fix this is to change the macro which selects between <sstream> and "Lsstream.h" to only use <sstream> when <string> is being used as well. A patch which enforces this is attached. I think that the autoconf macro which is used to detect sstream is broken as well - it wasn't detecting sstream on RH <= 7.0 when it was actually there, but I haven't done anything about this as everything compiled OK.
