V8 compile error for basic example - c++

Question

I am trying to compile the hello world example for V8, and I keep running into a compile time error. Here is the code:
#include <v8/src/v8.h>
using namespace v8;
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
// Create a string holding the JavaScript source code.
String source = String::New("Hi");
// Compile it.
Script script = Script::Compile(source) ;
// Run it.
Value result = script->Run();
// Convert the result to an ASCII string and display it.
String::AsciiValue ascii(result) ;
printf("%s\n", *ascii) ;
return 0;
}
This is the compile error:
error: conversion from ‘v8::Local<v8::String>’ to non-scalar type ‘v8::String’ requested
The error is for line 8 where it says: String source = String::New("Hi");
I have tried google'ing this error senseless, and cannot seem to find a fix for it that makes sense. Any ideas?
I have tried both:
svn checkout http://v8.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ v8
and
svn checkout http://v8.googlecode.com/svn/branches/bleeding_edge/ v8
and get the same error for both.

Answer 1

Based on the error message, try:
Local<String> source = String::New("Hi");

Answer 2

try this code:
HandleScope handle_scope;
Persistent<Context> context = Context::New();
Context::Scope context_scope(context);
Handle<String> source = String::New("'Hello' + ', World!'");
Handle<Script> script = Script::Compile(source);
TryCatch trycatch;
Handle<Value> result = script->Run();
if ( result.IsEmpty() ) {
Handle<Value> excep = trycatch.Exception();
String::AsciiValue excep_str(excep);
printf("%s\n",*excep);
} else {
String::AsciiValue ascii(result);
printf("%s\n", *ascii);
}
context.Dispose();
return 0;
