Hi List Members, While still trying putting boost::multi_array to work I ran into the next obstacle - my current code is fairly like in the multi_array "short example" That is : #include "boost/multi_array.hpp" class NwLayer { typedef boost::multi_array neural_op; typedef neural_op::index index ; neural_op NeuralOperator(boost::extents[10][10][10]); } unfortunately I still get the compile time error In file included from ../NwLayer.cpp:1: ../NwLayer.h:12: Fehler: >boost::extents< is not a type on the last line of the above code snippet Is there anyone around who could explain to me what I can do to get rid of the error message ? Many thanks in advance Best regards Stefan -------------------------------------------------------- Stefan Klett (Dipl.
