[ublas] Compilation error: error: expected nested-name-specifier before ‘VEC_T’

Hello all,

I am compiling someone else's C++ application that uses UBLAS and am getting a compilation error:

$ g++ distance.h
distance.h:16: error: expected nested-name-specifier before ‘VEC_T’
distance.h:16: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘vector_type’
distance.h:33: error: expected nested-name-specifier before ‘VEC_T’
distance.h:33: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘vector_type’

Platform: Ubuntu 9.10, g++4.4, Boost 1.38.
I haven't touched C++ in over 10 years, so apologies if this is a trivial question.

Many thanks for any suggestions,
Parker
