C++ 3rd party library includes non existing header file?

Question

First things first: I'm a newbie in C/C++.

I have a library that I have to include but it has header files that use

#include <string>

I tried to include <string> but it failed. I can

#include <string.h>

though. Since it's a library I'm trying to use I can't do much about this import right ? How can I fix this problem ? Build terminates with a fatal error.

(In case that's important I'm working on Linux and genicam is the 3rd party library)

<string> is a standard C++ header. Either your compiler is broken, or installed incorrectly, or you are trying to use a C compiler on C++ code (for instance by using gcc instead of g++).
