[Boost-users] How to inherit from boost::multi_array

Dear List,

I am using boost 1.31.0 on Linux (with gcc 3.3.2)
I would like to create a 2D array class, which inherits  from
boost::multi_array<double, 2> class. However I have problems
with the copy constructor of my class Array.  Below is the code,
which I am trying to run.

#include <boost/multi_array.hpp>

class Array
  : public boost::multi_array<double,2>
{
 public:
  Array (void) :
    boost::multi_array<double, 2> ()
  {}

  Array (const int nrow, const int ncol) :
    boost::multi_array<double, 2> (boost::extents[nrow][ncol])
  {}

  Array (const Array& other) :
    boost::multi_array<double, 2> (other)
  {}

  ~Array (void)
  {}

  Array& operator= (const Array& rhs)
  {
    if (&rhs != this)
      {
    boost::multi_array<double, 2>::operator= (rhs);
      }
    return *this;
  }
}; /* class Array */

I guess that I forget to provide some information to my derived class,
but I cannot find which one. Is there a way to simply inherits from 
boost::multi_array?

Many thanks in advance,

Thomas
