Why won't this hash_map compile?

[Mark]

Hi,

I'm trying to use hash_map (gcc 3.2.2) with a std::string as the key. It
will compile if I use <map> but I get a bunch of template compile errors
when I change it to hash_map. Any suggestions? My program and the errors
are below...

#include <ext/hash_map>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

__gnu_cxx::hash _map<string, int> storage;

int main()
{
pair<string, int> item("blah", 1);
storage.insert( item);
}

When compiled I get the following:

hash_map is not a standard class or template, so it's OT here unless
you provide its full definition.

If 'hash_map' is part of gcc, I recommend gnu.g++.help newsgroup.

Perfect! Thanks Michael!

Although I may end up just using <map> since my data is small and it'd be
nice to conform to the standard (although apparently hash_map is being added
to the standard on the next go-around).
