In the manual it says:  cl_I order_of_rubiks_cube_group =
"43252003274489856000";
so I declared a string, S, read it from a file, and then I said
cl_I = S;
I also tried cl_I = cl_I(S),
but it did not work. I assume because the string is dynamic there is a
problem. I could not find the correct function or class constructor that
takes a string.
Here is the error:
In function ‘int main(int, char**)’:
e.cc:75: error: conversion from ‘std::string’ to non-scalar type ‘cln::cl_I’
requested
make: *** [e.o] Error
Use the member function c_str() of class std::string to convert it to a 
const char*.
