PLEASE HELP! Strange gcc compilation error

[Gandu]

Could a C++ guru help me please? I have a very odd compilation error.
The following is the .h file:
#ifndef TEST_H
#define TEST_H

#include <iostream>
#include "rando.h"
#include "prime.h"

using namespace std;

class ABC{
Rando rn;
public:
ABC();
~ABC();
};

#endif

The .C file is:
#include "test.h"

ABC::ABC(){}

ABC::~ABC(){}

int main(){
return 0;
}

The compilation error message is:
$ g++ -g -o test test.C rando.C
test.h:11 'Rando' is used as a type, but not defined as a type

Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? I have in the
past put classes as members of other classes, and they have compiled
without any problems. Thanks in advance for your help!

using namespace std; NEVER put global using directives in an include file you expect people
to have to use.

class ABC{
Rando rn;

So where is Rando defined? That seems to be your problem.

It probably should be in rando.h, but I suspect you've screwed something
up there.

My guess would be that 'Rando' has not been defined as a type,
and your attempt to use it as one represents a spelling error.
What makes you think 'Rando' names a type?
I have in the
past put classes as members of other classes, and they have compiled
without any problems.
That is not the problem here, either.
Thanks in advance for your help!
