Hi, I'm a newbie with mpl and I'm trying to execute some example code from the book "C++ Template Metaprogramming", by Abrahams and Gurtovoy:

From section 5.2, p. 78, Sequences and Algorithms:

I wrote this code: // // mpltest.C // #include<boost/mpl/vector.hpp> using namespace boost; typedef mpl::vector<char,short,int,long,float,double> types; typedef mpl::find<types,long>::type long_pos; int main() { } And I get this compiler error on the mpl::find line: $ g++ mpltest.C -ompltest mpltest.C:10: error: expected initializer before ‘<’ token Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thank you, Mike FYI/IYC: $ g++ --version g++ (GCC) 4.4.1 20090725 (Red Hat 4.4.1-2) Copyright (C) 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.
