I am tryiing to build gsl-java on a Fedora Core 3 system, with gsl (1.6), ant (1.6.2), GCC (3.4.3) and velocity (1.4).  The error message is given below.

thanks,

The "string" type is a C++ STL type.  Most likely you need
to install "libstdc++5-dev" for gcc/g++ 3.x.x.

I refer you to following post and replies where someone
has the same problem.

http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2003/04/msg02343.html

The current version of gsl-java was compiled w/gcc 2.9.x
and did not incur the problem you are having. The next
release will be compiled w/3.x.x and the presence of the
library will be listed as a requirement.

Hope this helps - pls let me know either way.
