problems with compiler differences between version 3.3.5 and 4.0.2

[Brian Budge]

It seems like in this case, this should work...  Usually this error is
found in conjunction with templates, at least in my experience.

I don't know the actual reason why g++ stopped being able to recognize
these kinds of types (I bet it has something to do with the
standard... anyone?), but the fix is usually easy...

try
typename A a;
