Getting lower-bound and upper-bound of strings input

[Rhiner Dan]

Here are the errors from my Dev-c compiler

And here is the code that emits those errors
// input strings and save them into vector of strings called str.
// begin to fetch from here.
while(std::getline(std::cin,hold)){
std::pair<std::string*, std::string*>
result=std::equal_range(str.begin(),str.end(), hold);
std::cout<<"the fresult is: "<<*result.first<<'\n';
std::cout<<"the lresult is: "<<*result.second<<'\n';
}

Using string pointers in pair<> like those above are not allowed right
?
I tested input string source code and compiler said it was correctly
witten but the above code gave errors..I am new to stl, Please
help..Thank you in advance.
