> I'm just trying to include the files for the shared_ptr class and keep
having problems. I was able to fix a problem with a duplicate definition of
'max' and 'min' (in suffix.hpp, it was conflicting with a file from the SGI
STL implementation) I mainly just commented it out, if someone has a better
plan on how to fix it I would love to know how to fix it. I have tried Boost
1.28 and 1.29 and still got the same set of errors. In addition to the 'max'
and 'min' conflict I am getting these errors :

Looks like the SGI STL has the "helpful"

#define typename

somewhere. Fix this (MSVC usually doesn't need this hack) or change all
"typename T" template parameters to "class T".
