The error seems to ne (taking AmqpException.h for example)
that the headers are including

#include <boost/cstdint.hpp>

but then the code has declarations like:

  explicit AmqpException(const std::string& reply_text, uint16_t
class_id, uint16_t method_id) throw();

the boost/cstdint.hpp puts uint16_t in the boost:: namesspace,
NOT in std::

if I change the above line to

  explicit AmqpException(const std::string& reply_text, boost::uint16_t
class_id, boost::uint16_t method_id) throw();

it compiles.

I'm not really willing to put a "using namespace boost" at the top
of the headers.

Am I missing something obvious here?
