[Boost-users] [boost::interprocess]trouble creating a vector in a shared memory segment

I'm having some trouble creating a vector in a shared memory segment 
(compilation errors)

The code:

int main(){
        //Allocator for the event list
        typedef boost::interprocess::allocator
        <int,managed_shared_memory::segment_manager> EventAllocator;
 
        //the in memory vector of events
        typedef boost::interprocess::vector<int, EventAllocator> EventList;
 
 
        //is it already created?
        EventList* pEventList = segment.find<EventList>(EVENTSEGMENT_NAME).first;
 
}

The error:
d:\boost_1_35_0\boost\preprocessor\iteration\detail\local.hpp(37): error 
C2036: 'EventList *' : unknown size

And the trace:
