Encapsulation in SDL

I am trying to learn SDL with C++, however I am a bit of a noob when it comes to C++ having only recently migrated there from Java and C#, and given my background I have a bit of a fetish for doing things OO. I am trying to create a class to manage the setup and drawing in SDL.
I am having trouble though as the compiler (GCC compiler with Code::Blocks) spits out an error when I try to use an SDL_Surface pointer as a return value for a member function. I may be doing something wrong with C++ but as far as I can tell my code is alright.
Here is the class declaration:
I am going to go with make that a std::string instead of just string. You probably also need to add #include <string>. In c++ when you put something in a namespace (like they do with the standard library) you must always qualify the name. so it is std::string not just string.

This sounds like you are just going to wrap up all the SDL functions in one class and call it OO. If that's the case than this has nothing to do with OO.

Please post the error message and the part of the code the error points to.
EDIT: Too slow. My first guess is std::string as well.

That solved that problem, thanks.

And I can live with mis-using terminology ;P.
