There should be no namespace problem. I changed the name of the class to different ones, but still got the same errors... So I wonder what causes it might be?

Is there any need for the header Math2.h to include "test1.h"? if not remove it and it should compile.
Code:
#define BYTE short
I can not see where you use a "BYTE" but your size and sign is wrong here, this is more like a nibble. try unsigned char.

Will you ever use code tags?


this will give you a seg fault.
Code:
void PlumeAnalysis::Analyse(void)
{
PlumeData *p;
GetData();
Calculate(p);
StoreDatabase();
}



void PlumeAnalysis::Calculate(PlumeData *pPlume)
{
float fDenominator;

m_pMath->LinearRegression (pPlume->CO2Array,.......

Code:
class PlumeAnalysis
{
public:
PlumeAnalysis() : m_pMath() { }//calling a function on an unintailised pointer?
~PlumeAnalysis() { delete m_pMath; }//calling delete on a pointer which has not been created with new???
.......
MathEx *m_pMath; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Error

<edit>
Im really unsure what you are trying to do in the func
void PlumeAnalysis::Calculate(PlumeData *pPlume).
it takes as a param a PlumeData* which is a float*
Code:
typedef float PlumeData; // Placeholder
and then you derefence it and access???? hmmm I don't know what
Code:
....pPlume->CO2Array, pPlume->COArray,....
</edit>

well dmail has (as always) been very thorough. Just to add the reason you are getting the compiler error that you mentioned is because of the #includes that you have.

I'll try and explain to you what the compiler is doing.

It takes the Math2.h file and asks itself "what do we have here?" You're the programmer and smugly suggest that what we have here is the class MathEx. But the compiler disagrees, what we have here is a #include to the file test1.h, so we will, for the moment, stop looking at Math2.h and look at test1.h - remember at this point the compiler has not looked at the class MathEx. So it now looks at the file test1.h and asks itself "what do we have here?" It scours the code and says "Oh what's this a variable of type MathEx - but MathEx isn't a type I know of, I'm going to bail out her." Being the progammer you feel a little indignant that the compiler has followed your instruction exactly to the letter, if only it had a little more patience it would have found all about the class MathEx.

Briefly, that is how the C compiler works. Other languages work differently... In a situation where that is absolutely necessary you need to have forward declarations such as

Code:
class MathEx; // forward declaration
#include "test1.h" // A #include that will have a reference to the forward declaration

class MathEx // here we are the real thing
{
}
A forward declaration is a promise to the compiler that you'll learn about it all in good time.

I hope that helps. Just one request, please use the code tags, it's the little button with the #,

graeme.
