Trying to have the following usage; however, gcc is not liking.

#include

namespace xyz {
class elem {
public:
typedef boost::shared_ptr elem_sptr;
};

}

#include

I can spot 2 problems in this code. 1st of all -- your main function.
It should
always return an integer, not void. Another mistake is missing
typename keyword.
ObjectType::elem_sprt and Container::iterator depend on ObjectType
which is
template parameter. This is why you need to precede its definition
with typename.
Here's what needs to be changed:

When seeking help it is always desirable that you give us as much

rejecting and if possible the error message that it gave. I know that
error messages are sometimes very lengthy where templates are concerned
but it is usually possible identify what is being complained about at
least in general.

That just renames boost::shared pointer in the scope of class elem.
elem_sptr will not be visible anywhere outside this class scope. Why did
you encapsulate the typedef in a class? ...
