cin.getline() func not found

I'm using the Dev-C++ compiler and currently whenever I compile a program which uses cin.getline() it returns this error:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. 64 E:\DevCplus\Dev-Cpp\yesm.cpp no matching function for call to `std::basic_istream<char, std::char_traits<char> >::getline(std::string&)'

Cane we see your line 64 and your declaration of the variables used on that line?

cin.getline() needs a char* argument and not a string&.
