Thank you all for you help. Yes a
couple of you where correct, I was pulling in a header file that was defining
max, min. Because we use a lot of common code here in our projects someone at
some time had #defined max and min, but because it did not ‘blow up’ in my 1.5
Xcode I was stumped as to the problem.
Again thanks for all who took the
time to answer my post.
Cheers
Carl

As an

the error is pointing to the line
“const
streamsize __limit = std::min(__chunk, __bufavail):” in the file fstream.tcc
there
are 12 such errors, all relating to std::min and std::max.
The usual cause for this is #defining min or max in
some header file.
Often people #define min(x,y) (x < y ? x : y) and
that will be expanded in the definition of std:: min, which will blow up.
