I'm getting the following error message:

FileUtils.cpp:15: no matching function for call to `ifstream::readLine (char
*&, int, char)'

FileUtils.cpp:19: no matching function for call to `ifstream::getLine (char
*&, int)'

for the following code:

#define MAX_LINE 255
...
char* line = new char[MAX_LINE + 1];
ifstream in(someFile);
int numLines = 0;
in.readLine(line, MAX_LINE, '\n'); file://line 15

while(in) {
numLines++;
in.getLine(line, MAX_LINE); file://line 19
}
...

I've tried changing the declaration of line to:
char line[MAX_LINE + 1];

but it gives me the same error with "char[256]" instead of "char *".
