STL - operator overloading vector< float >

[PaperPilot]

While trying to copy data into the vector
I get the following error messages:

stl_algobase.h:247: error: no match for 'operator*' in '*__result'
stl_algobase.h:249: error: no match for 'operator++' in '++__result'
__result is the vector's OutputIterator

the ecode segement that gives me this problem is:

typedef std::vector< float > floatV;
.
.
.
    floatV v1_;
.
.
.
void XternalFloatRoutines::setVector(char* bytes, int byte_size)
{
    std::copy(bytes, bytes+byte_size, v1_);
}
 

I am using the Eclipse IDE with CDT and Mingw.

Thanks for your help,
