Can anyone tell me how to correct this compiler error? I have tried to find out something in the MSV6 documentation but to no avail. // This line calls std::malloc... d:\wildfire\source files\wfmemorymgt.cpp(161) : error C2653: ''std'' : is not a class or namespace name // This line is "using namespace std;" d:\wildfire\source files\wfmain.cpp(7) : error C2871: ''std'' : does not exist or is not a namespace TIA for the help. Regards, Jumpster

Since you''re already using namespace std, why not get rid of the std before malloc?

Use malloc only, not std::malloc. That might help.

try including a header, which makes use of the std namespace (string for example).

entrox: No dice. It didn''t work.

procalan: No can do. I am using "A class for detecting memory leaks and other memory related problems, contributed by Nicolas Capens" from the glVelocity code archive.

Is there a compiler setting that I am missing or something?

I got it.

Had to add the following to the cpp file:

namespace std {
#include "cstdlib" // Use Angle brackets instead of quotes...
}

and then change all calls to exit() to std::exit().

I found the fix on the msdn web-site under "Known Bugs" but it didn't specify what version it was known for. I have vc6 sp3 (I lost my sp4 cds).
