Problem compiling my program against TinyXML++

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

#include<ticpp.h>

using namespace ticpp;

Then try and compile my program (specifically the particular source file in
my program that includes ticpp.h) using g++ v4.2.3 via the line:

g++ -o src/channellisthandler.o -c -O0 -Wall -g -Isrc -Iinclude
-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/lib -I/usr/include/ace
src/channellisthandler.cpp

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The expected result is for my program to compile successfully by g++
recognizing the ticpp namespace. Instead, I see:

src/channellisthandler.cpp: In member function ‘void
mcm::ChannelListHandler::loadChannelList()’:

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

TinyXML++ v2.5.3 on Ubuntu Linux Hardy v8.04

Please provide any additional information below.

This problem seems to be baffling me. I have ticpp.h in /usr/include and it
definitely has the "namespace ticpp {}" definition in it. I'm not quite
sure why g++ won't recognize the ticpp namespace.

you need to #define TIXML_USE_TICPP before including ticpp.h
I often do this in a preprocessor define in project settings.

invalid conversion from ‘ticpp::Node*’ to ‘ticpp::Element*’

trying to get that example running!

    ticpp::Element* pem =  doc.FirstChildElement()->NextSibling();

invalid conversion from ‘ticpp::Node*’ to ‘ticpp::Element*’

rjmyst3: Thanks, that seemed to do the trick. Is that mentioned in any 
documentation?
If not, I think there should be a quick getting started guide which includes 
those
details. Thanks!

sounds like you should update the docs :)
