Well.. looking at the code, the compiler is fully right:
While compiling osmeditor2.cpp, <cmath> is not included before using it.


That it works for some people, this is because the C++ Standard does not 
specify the header dependencies of the standard headers (unlike in C).

So if some implementation of the standard library headers by accident include 
cmath in any standard header before (e.g. <vector>), then it works for this 
implementation.

But this will not be legal Standard C++ until the missing cmath include is 
added.


Ciao, Imi.

By the way: Many coders consider think it is very dirty to use "using" 
directives in header files.
