Hello, I am trying to compile the TPIE files but there is a file
that's constantly giving errors about the templates. I am using gcc
3.4.5 on Eclipse using Windows XP. The following is the code of the
file that I am trying to compile:

Run it through the pre-processor and then a code prettyfier and try to
compile that, if you still don't find the error post that code instead.
Is there anything that's not a macro in there, I hope that it's
generated and none actually wrote that.

Well the first error is that AMI_err is used in the generated code but
defined nowhere. Could also say the same about AMI_STREAM, AMI_SCAN_FLAG
and probably many others.

If the code is not total rubbish then the problem probably is that you
are missing a header file or two. Why the missing header files aren't
included in that header file is only a question the code author could
answer. Why don't you email him, his address is at the head of the
source code (you probably should have removed that before posting).
