namespace problem in sstream

[martin nylin <martin.nylin@gmail.com>]

hi

i'm using libstdc++6-4.3-dev on amd64 and my application does

#include <sstream>

as the first include. when trying to compile i get

/usr/include/c++/4.3/sstream:47: error: expected unqualified-id before
‘namespace’

line 47 in sstream is

_GLIBCXX_BEGIN_NAMESPACE(std)

i fail to figure out why this does not work. do i need to include
another header file before sstream or do i need some specific compiler
option or something?

regards
martin
