I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me how to debug the error I'm 
getting.  I've got a class with a member function like this:

bool Instruction::button_press(GdkEventButton *,
        boost::weak_ptr<Instruction>,
        boost::weak_ptr<Instruction>,
        boost::weak_ptr<Instruction>,
        boost::weak_ptr<Instruction>);

===========================================================================
Instruction.C: In member function `bool
    Instruction::button_press(GdkEventButton*, 
boost::weak_ptr<Instruction>,
    boost::weak_ptr<Instruction>, boost::weak_ptr<Instruction>,
    boost::weak_ptr<Instruction>)':
Instruction.C:138: error: `top' has incomplete type
/usr/include/boost/shared_ptr.hpp:43: error: declaration of `struct
    boost::weak_ptr<Instruction>'
Instruction.C:138: error: `left' has incomplete type
/usr/include/boost/shared_ptr.hpp:43: error: declaration of `struct
    boost::weak_ptr<Instruction>'
Instruction.C:138: error: `right' has incomplete type
/usr/include/boost/shared_ptr.hpp:43: error: declaration of `struct

Instruction.C:138: error: `bottom' has incomplete type

Thanks,
