The problem is that you are probably compiling your program
in presence of min() nad max() macros which often Windows pollutes with.
These macros cause plenty of headache.

In order to solve this kind of problems by disabling C++ argument
dependant lookup feature with extra brackets:

For the time being, apply this fix:

std::numeric_limits<T>::min();

with

(std::numeric_limits<T>::min)();

This fix should solve similar problems with

std::numeric_limits<T>::max();
to
(std::numeric_limits<T>::max)();

as well as with

std::min(v) -> (std::min)(v)
std::max(v) -> (std::max)(v)

I will commit these fixes to libLAS code later tonight.
