Identifier "signed" is not directly visible

[Thom]

New to VHDL and need some newbee help...

Here is the begining of my code:


----------------------------------------------------
library ieee;
USE ieee.std_logic_1164.all;
USE work.my_data_types.all;
use ieee.numeric_std.all;
use IEEE.std_logic_unsigned.all;
use ieee.std_logic_arith.ALL;
use ieee.std_logic_signed.all;
----------------------------------------------------
ENTITY Problem5_4_adder IS
PORT (add_a, add_b: IN STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (7 DOWNTO 0);
add_sel: IN sel_1to0;
add_cin: IN STD_LOGIC;
add_cout: OUT STD_LOGIC;
add_sum: OUT STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (7 DOWNTO 0);
END Problem5_4_adder;
----------------------------------------------------
ARCHITECTURE adder OF Problem5_4_adder IS

BEGIN
PROCESS (add_a, add_b, add_sel, add_cin)

VARIABLE temp0: STD_LOGIC_VECTOR ((7 DOWNTO 0):= (others=> '0');
VARIABLE temp1: STD_LOGIC_VECTOR ((7 DOWNTO 0):= (others=> '0');
VARIABLE temp2: SIGNED (7 DOWNTO 0);
VARIABLE temp3: SIGNED (7 DOWNTO 0);
VARIABLE temp4: SIGNED (7 DOWNTO 0);
VARIABLE temp5: SIGNED (8 DOWNTO 0);

BEGIN

----------------------------------------------------

When I try to compile I get

Identifier "signed" is not directly visible

all the libraries load correctly but as soon as it gets to the line with SIGNED in it...What's up with that?
