How do I declare boost?

Hello all,
I am trying to "make" a database system, VDB (Veritas Data Base), and when I run "make" I receive the following error:

Code:

I apologize if this is a simple question, I am hardly proficient with Unix and the Command Line. What does it mean when it says that "enum_field_types" or "boost" has not been declared? I downloaded Boost C++ libraries and currently have it in "/usr/local/include". Does anyone know what this error message means, and what I can do to fix it?
Thanks in advance for any advice
-Tyler

If you don't see any errors about missing header files, it's not missing header files.

Without seeing the code which provoked these errors we can't possibly say.

Okay here is some of the code from "VDBException.h", with lines 19, 20, 43, 53, and 55 bolded:

Code:

/*
 * Class for VERITAS database error exceptions.
 * Can be caught as VException or VDBException.
 */

#ifndef VDBEXCEPTION_HH
#define VDBEXCEPTION_HH

#include <string>
#include <ostream>
#include <mysql.h>
#include "exception.h"


class VDBException:public VException {

public:

  VDBException(MYSQL * myconn, const char *query, const char *msg);
  VDBException(MYSQL * myconn, const char *msg);
  VDBException(const char *query, const char *msg);
  VDBException(const char *msg);

  ~VDBException() throw() {};

  void printTypeSpecificExceptionDetails(std::ostream & out) const;

protected:

  unsigned int mysql_error_number;
  std::string mysql_error_text;
  std::string mysql_query;
  bool has_error;
  bool has_query;

};


class VDBDeadlock:public VDBException {

public:

  VDBDeadlock(MYSQL * myconn, const char *query, const char *msg):
    VDBException(myconn, query, msg) {}

};


class VDBSystemException:public VDBException {

public:

  VDBSystemException(MYSQL * myconn, const char *query, const char *msg):
    VDBException(myconn, query, msg) {}
  VDBSystemException(MYSQL * myconn, const char *msg):
    VDBException(myconn, msg) {}

Each of the other erroneous lines from the code are similar. The error was

error: expected `)' before '*' token

What should I do to resolve this?
Thanks
Tyler

Check to make sure you have mysql.h, it seems to be having problems with the MYSQL type.

I copied several .h files from my mysql directory into the proper subdirectory, and then copied "boost" over, and it was able to build successfully. Thank you for the help!
