Problem with #include <list>

I have installed NetBeans 6.7.1 IDE and Cygwin.

I have a c++ class file and as soon as I add

Code:

---

#include <list>

I get a ton of errors:

I would appreciate greatly if someone could tell me how to make these errors go away.

This sounds like a problem with your installation above anything else. I would ask for support with your Cygwin installation on their support forums.

What you didn't mention was what C++ compiler you have set up. Judging by your file paths you've got the GNU C++ compiler. It could be that installation as well. I would ask around in the GNU support documentation and their mailing list for support.

Where are you adding that include? Post the surrounding code... it might be inside a class or something scary.

The other possibility is that you've used some option that causes compilation as C, not as C++ (eg using gcc, not g++). C-only compilers tend to complain rather bitterly when they are forced to parse the contents of C++ standard headers (or any other C++-specific code).
