build failure: STL string implementation

[Muhammad Hussain Yusuf]

Hi,
I noticed that the hppa build of my package Latte failed with the error:

"Your STL string implementation is unusable"

while running ./configure

I tried using sarti.debian.org with same result. Package builds OK on
other architectures, so any suggestions - or even patches - most
welcome. I'm not familiar with hppa at all.

Regards
Hussain

The thing about hppa which is likely to be screwing you up here is
that we only use gcc-3.0 -- there is no 2.95 or 2.96 available. If you
install gcc-3.0 on an x86 system, I suspect your program will fail in
the same way. There are various howtos on the gcc site for porting your
code from an old dialect of c++ to one which gcc-3.0 understands.
