 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
