here is the code: 

---
#ifndef XFILE_A2_H
#define XFILE_A2_H
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
namespace xf{
  class Xfile{
  public:
    void compress();// throw (runtime_error);
    void stats();//  throw (runtime_error);
  private:
    Xfile(string = "mydata", int = 10, int = 10); //constructor
    typedef char* Xstr;
    Xstr* storage_;  //an array of array to store the data
    int size_; //lines array contains
    int length_; //length for each line
  }
}
#endif
----
GCC gives me this error:
xfile_a2.h:23: error: parse error before `}' token
xfile_a2.h: In function `int xf::main()':
xfile_a2.h:17: error: `xf::Xfile::Xfile(std::basic_string<char,
   std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, int, int)' is private
anyone knows why(maybe a newbie question)? Thanks.
