Indeed this is the problem. Looking back at your previous mail, you have 

/D "_MSC_VER"

in the compiler command line option.

Why is it there? It is an internal compiler macro identifying the version
of the compiler. The value of this macro is used internally to see if
namespace can be enabled. MSVC++ 5 has _MSC_VER=1000 I think.

Just delete the _MSC_VER option and rebuild everything should solve your
problem I hope.
