template parse error

[David M Noriega]

Ok I'm no programmer but have done it in the past. I am trying to build
a program from its source, its called Juk. It needs the kde bindings for
GStreamer. I found them using CVS. So no I must build that. When doing
so I get a parse error before token '>' for smartptr.h The line reads

template <class T = Object>

I've looked all around and I only can find template being used without
the = Object part. And when I try removing that part, I get a whole
list of errors from other files, they depend on smartptr.h Any idea as
to why this give me a parse error?

It's a default template parameter, indicating that if no
template argument is specified at instantiation, to instantiate
with type 'T' meaning type 'Object'.

Perhaps there's no identifier 'Object' in scope at
that point?
