Greetings. I'm getting the following error while using Netbeans 6.9.1 on C++ code. ../GNU_iomanip.h:27: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before '&' token ../GNU_iomanip.h:27: error: expected `,' or `;' before '&' token This is the code: Code: //------------------------------------------------------------------------------ // // GNU_iomanip.h // // Purpose: // // Temporaray implementation of ostream manipulators from the // C++ Standard Library, which are not contained in // as provided with GNU C++. // // Notes: // // This software is protected by national and international copyright. // Any unauthorized use, reproduction or modificaton is unlawful and // will be prosecuted.

Any help? Thanks. Webbiz
