so actually works

what do you mean exactly with
"Usually with issues like that, I blame a missing curly-brace '}' in a source file included previously." ?

I would bet that in your actual source, one of the header files has something like the following:

namespace my_stuff

{

//Lots of stuff, but no terminating '}'.

That always throws of the compiler and gives you nearly unreadable errors in other header or source files. I would check the headers you're including to verify that something like that isn't happening with a namespace, function or class.

By verifying that you can #include shared_ptr, it think it's clear that your include path is set correctly.

HTH,

Nate
