Getting this BST template to work

hI, I am trying to get this code from Larry Niehoff's book to compile in Bloodshed. In fact it was taken word for word from the author's website, although I declared it in .cpp instead of .h (the .h file does not work with the tester app).

http://cs.calvin.edu/activities/books/c++/ds/2e/SourcePrograms/Chap12/

The search function (const DataType and item) is what gives me sadness. Compiler error:

In member function `bool BST<DataType>::search(const DataType&) const': 
expected `;' before "locptr" 
`locptr' undeclared (first use this function) 

      

        
        
        
      

    

What am I missing here?
