STLPort, VC++6.0 and default include path

Hi. I was trying to reproduce an error and I observed that VC++6.0 does not use the correct include path. I use STLPort, and I have set the include and lib pathes accordingly (first in the priority list). The piece of code is: #include <fstream> class StreamIn : public std::ifstream { public: void open(const char *s, ios_base::openmode mode = ios_base::in) { std::ifstream::open(s, mode); }; }; ============================== Compiling... test.cpp c:\test\test.cpp(8) : error C2352: ''std::basic_ifstream<char,struct std::char_traits<char> >::open'' : illegal call of non-static member function [b]c:\programme\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\fstream(272) [/b]: see declaration of ''open'' Error executing cl.exe. test.obj - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s) The error itself is irrelevant here. The question is why does the compiler pick the Dinkumware header? Forever trusting who we are And nothing else matters - Metallica
