Joe,

Thanks for the problem report.  I will try to reproduce the error 
locally.  If there are any file names and line numbers associated with 
the message above, that might be helfpul.

This is using the 1.3 release?

Yes, that is correct.  The program above should compile without error. 
The only thing that stands out is the library is not being initialized 
(there is no "vsip::vsipl" object).

Not initializing the library will not cause a compile-time error (but it 
may lead to run-time errors, esp when using the library in parallel).

However, the error "incomplete type" suggests that a definition is not 
being included, which may be a result of not including a particular 
header file.  You might including <vsip/initfin.hpp> (necessary to 
initilize the library), and potentially <vsip/parallel.hpp>
