OK, both of those are pointing at uses of datatype "string". I suspect
that this code near the head of pgconnection.h is failing to fire:
#ifdef HAVE_CXX_STRING_HEADER
#include <string>
#endif
either because you indeed haven't got the C++ standard <string> header
(not to be confused with C's <string.h> --- is there a separate "devel"
RPM for C++ header files? if so, do you have it?), or because configure
got confused and failed to define HAVE_CXX_STRING_HEADER when it should.
Can't tell which though; the config.cache file you sent doesn't record
anything about HAVE_CXX_STRING_HEADER.
