Hello Pete
I am not sure if I was brave, but I installed gcc 3.4.3, but I still see
the error.
There is a gcc bugzilla report:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16605
The problem is that min and max are defined as macros (where ?)
which confuses the compiler because std::min/max don't make sense anymore.
This report also says that in the standard min and max are reserved which,
I assume, means that there should be no min/max macros.
I have no idea where these macros are defined but might hunt around a
little bit.
Cheers,
Wilko
