Thanks for that. I am compiling orbitcpp now.

GCC 3.2 should support wide strings, the following program works for me 
(GCC 3.2.1). It may be a namespace problem, have you prefixed with std:: 
appropriately. Starting with GCC 3.0 the std namespace is properly 
implemented/enforced. In GCC 2.95 the std:: is essentially ignored so 
there isn't a difference between wstring and std::wstring.

#include <string>
#include <iostream>
                                                                             
int
main()
{
       std::wstring s = L"foobar";
       std::wcout << s << std::endl;
       return 0;
}
