Unfortunately gcc 2.95.2 does *not* include an implementation of
<sstream>, at least not as recently as July, when I built it again
from newly downloaded sources.
However, there *is* a free implementation of <sstream>. I've lost the
website URL, but I have the tarball here. E-mail me off-list if you
want it (it's less than 10kb).
I have used it with gcc-2.95.2 and have had no problems with it. I
suppose it might work with earlier versions of gcc, but you would have
to test it to find out. It's *very* easy to install: as simple as
copying a few files into a directory.
You can probably find an rpm of gcc-2.95.2. Try looking at freshmeat,
or in the contrib directory of ftp.redhat.com if you really want it.
Either way, though, you're going to need to get <sstream> from
elsewhere. Again, drop me a note if you want me to send it to you.
