Hello all, I am trying to compile the histogram example(histogram.cpp) in random but have not had success. I am using MSVC++ 7.0. Has anyone had success in compiling this file using MSVC++ 7.0? Below are the error messages I receive. Thanks again for any and all suggestions! c:\Documents and Settings\Agiato\My Documents\Visual Studio Projects\histogramTest\driver.cpp(48): warning C4267: 'argument' : conversion from 'size_t' to
