SOLVED. I was trying to do the above in the private part of a class. Once I
realised that extents is a static object, i defined my class like this.
class c{
  private:
    array_type * scores;
 public:
    c(){
      scores = new array_type(boost::extents[1][1]);
    }
};

But I still have one more question. How can I use it without using pointers?
thanks
