Question

I was trying to compile the mongodbbackend module for powerdns but I’m stuck with this problem:

In file included from mongodbbackend.cc:18:
mongodbbackend.hh: At global scope:
mongodbbackend.hh:109: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of ‘auto_ptr’ with no type
mongodbbackend.hh:109: error: expected unqualified-id before ‘<’ token
make[3]: *** [mongodbbackend.lo] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/root/pdns-3.0.1/modules/mongodbbackend'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/pdns-3.0.1/modules'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/pdns-3.0.1'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I tried to include files from mongodb 2.0.2 and 2.0.3.
Here are the module sources:
http://wiki.powerdns.com/trac/browser/trunk/pdns/modules/mongodbbackend

Any suggestions?
