If you use fileselections you should definitely use the CVS version. I did not
release 0.6.2 yet, but 0.5.x does not include full fileselection support.

Just adding the header is enough to let C++ prepare to access the class. Please
complete your new class (provide at least one member function in a .cc file,
include it in the link) and the error should just vanish.
