Re: Errors when trying to use a toolkit

I need to learn and use a machine learning toolkit, maxent

http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/s0450736/maxent_toolkit.html

that provides a framework for using discriminative learning in several
domains, mine being NLP.

Following the manual, I successfully downloaded the package under my
home directory, and installed the toolkit: basically what I did was to
type:

(/home/giu/maxent) ./configure
(/homegiu/maxent/) make
(/home/giu/maxent/) sudo make install

The "usage" section in the manual then reports that in order to use
the toolking one must simply add the following in his code:

//-------------------------------
#include <maxent/maxentmodel.hpp>
using namespace maxent;

MaxentModel m;
//-------------------------------

At this point what I do is creating a very basic .cpp file under my
home directory (/home/giu/tempcode/testmaxent.cpp) in which I put

//-----------------------------------------------
#include<iostream>
#include<maxent/maxentmodel.hpp> // is this path correct?

using namespace maxent;

MaxentModel m;

int main(){..}
//-------------------------------------------------

what I get unfortunately is a lot of errors. This is the output of the
compiler:

//-------------------------------------------
