I just wanted to report that the code compiles fine on OSX and linux
using gcc.
I also made a little makefile that will compile all the example programs in one go. To use it (assuming you are on a *nix with g++ in your path),
set things up so that that the include, source, and mains directories
of the example code are subdirectories of the directory containing the makefile and type make.
On OSX if you download apples XCode (free but large) you get the C/C++ compilers.
