no sstream in unix???

[Deeko]

I'm working on my final project for my advanced programming class...its a pain in the ass. But at any rate, one of the solutions I'm working on involves splitting a sentence, a string if you will, into its separate words. Simple enough...I use stringstream for that. The sstream library is a part of the STL, it exists in VC++ 6.0 and .NET, it exists in my school's linux systems, but NOT the unix systems, which is what the program has to compile and run in. Here is the version info:
Reading specs from /usr/local/gpl/gcc-2.95.2/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.7/2.95.2/specs
gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)

Is it normal for this library to not be here?? If so...how the hell else can I accomplish that?

Version info for the linux system:
gcc version 3.3.1 (Mandrake Linux 9.2 3.3.1-2mdk)

ok, its a newer version of gcc...but still...

I could have sworn I posted this in programming. My bad mods, please move.

Are you literally using gcc, or are you using g++? g++ is the c++ compiler.

As said above, if you want to use gcc you have to use strtok. g++ is the Gnu C++ compiler, and it's pretty horrid. Your system probably includes Sun's C++ compilers, which is 'CC'. It's much preferable to g++, especially if your targeting SunOS.

I'm using G++. GCC will not work with any streams including iostream. The problem is just thst sstream doesn't seem to exist in my version.

How exactly is g++ horrid?

2.95 is pretty old though; I wouldn't be surprised if it was horrid.
