Dear ROOTers, Philippe, Masaharu,		{ using 3.05/04 }

I followed Philippe suggestion given on roottalk on 06-Sep-2002 and
added something like

     #pragma link C++ class vector<Int_t>!-;

in a Linkdef file. As a result I was able to instantiate in CINT
the vectors

    vector<Int_t>
    vector<int,allocator<int> >

but not

    vector<int>

which results in the error message

    Limitation: Can't instantiate precompiled template vector<int>

If I use instead in the LinkDef file

    #pragma link C++ class vector<int>!-;

I can instantiate and use in CINT

    vector<Int_t>
    vector<int,allocator<int> >
    vector<int>

There seems to be some interference between typedefs and the way
STL container instantiations are handled.

	  Cheers,
		Walter
