What is Dev-C++?  What are the errors you get?  Probably either the
compiler doesn't follow the ISO C++ standard, or it does too much and you
need to use POOMA CVS.

Alternatively is there a windows pre-compiled binary available, which I can 
test out the package with? That would probably be easiest.

A precompiled binary won't help you very much for a template library.  But
you can try using a recent Cygwin or Mingw to compile POOMA.  Not that I
have used Windows for any numerical stuff yet...
