Hello Eljay, Okay, I took your advise and changed the headers carefully to the point that they are c++ complaint headers. The only difference between my original posting and what I now have is that I have the following line after the includes in the cc file: using namespace std; using __gnu_cxx::hash; I get the exact same errors as my original posting. Sorry about the bother.
