[LAD] need some C++ help

Greetings, I'm compiling a program called kodisein, an open-source VJ tool. I'm hitting the wall here: g++ -c -w -I /usr/include/stlport -I ../lib/handler -I ../lib/tools -I ../lib/types -I ../lib/values -I ../lib/widgets -I ../lib/windows -I ../src -I ../src/connectors -I ../src/handles -I ../src/objects -I ../src/modules -I ../src/modules/attribute -I ../src/modules/matrix -I ../src/modules/object -I ../src/modules/value -I /usr/include/SDL -I /usr/include/GL -o ../lib/handler/KEventHandler.o ../lib/handler/KEventHandler.cpp ../lib/handler/KKeyActionHandler.h:42: error: expected initializer before ‘<’ token ../lib/handler/KKeyActionHandler.h:51: error: ‘KeyActionHash’ does not name a type make: *** [../lib/handler/KEventHandler.o] Error 1 The file in question is short enough to include at the end of this message (line 42 is at the typedef). I have minimal skill debugging C++ and have no idea how to fix this problem. Any suggestions from the C++ masters here ?
