'uint32_t' does not name a type

I'm trying to compile a C++ software package that was written in 2007 and I'm getting this error:

error: ‘uint32_t’ does not name a type

This is happening in 64-bit Ubuntu using g++ 4.5.2. It compiles fine on 64-bit CentOS using g++ 4.1.2.

Is there an #include or a compiler flag that I'm missing? Or, should I use typedef to assign uint32_t to a size_t or maybe an unsigned int?

You need to include stdint.h

 #include <stdint.h>
