common c++ make error

[edj]

I'm trying to install common c++.  ./configure runs with no errors.  
However, "make" yields:

socket.cpp:51: sstream: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [socket.lo] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/edj/downloads/commoncpp2-1.0.1/src'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

Line 51 of socket.cpp is, not surprisingly, "#include <sstream>".  Any 
advice or pointers on taming this beast appreciated.  Thanks.
