Without even trying to compile your code, I can tell you that 
defining macros whose names are min and max is asking for trouble.
There are some std::min and std::max functions and the headers 
defining those are certainly included somehow by vector and fstream.

so instead of std::max(i,j) you got std::( ((i) > (j)) ? (i) : (j) )

This occurs a few times in vector.

Why it does not occur if you remove the fstream is more puzzling. I 
suspect that stl_algo.h (where the min and max c++ function are 
defined, undefines your definitions for min and max and that what the 
error disappears...
