I wonder if anybody else has had this problem:

I just downloaded the egcs 1.1.2 binaries for DJGPP (latest version). Then I 
backuped my djgpp directory and installed the files like the egcs docs said.

Everything went fine, so I recompiled one of my projects and discovered an 
error that I find very strange. It all boils down to a very simple little 
program:

#include <fstream>
#include <string>

int main ()
{
    ifstream in ("test.dat");
    string str;
    getline (in, str);
}

This won't compile. The compiler says: 
no matching function for call to `getline (ifstream &, basic_string<char, 
string_char_traits<char> ,__default_alloc_template <false,0> > &)'

Now, this function is declared in <bastring.h> and this file will get included 
in my program (I checked the preprocessor output). My old djgpp installation 
had no problems at all with this code.

Anyone had the same problem? Any ideas? Could anyone try this with his egcs 
installation?

Thanks for taking the time!

Manni
