    ‘max_element’ was not declared in this scope

    Dear All,

    I am trying to compile a code and I get the following.

    g++ -O3 -Wall -ffast-math -ffinite-math-only -c dpdconfig.cpp
    dpdconfig.cpp: In member function ‘void DpdConfig::SetCellDimensions()’:
    dpdconfig.cpp:293: error: ‘max_element’ was not declared in this scope
    make: *** [dpdconfig.o] Error 1


    Could you please suggest me a solution?

    Thanks in advance.

    Declare max_element as a variable? (Or, if you want the standard function, write the function call with (parentheses) and make sure you include the headers.)

    If it's the STL function your talking about, then you'll need to #include the <algorithm> header and deal with the namespace issue as appropriate.
