I have this 4-bit adder that I'm having trouble compiling.

                port       (Ain,Bin,Cin : in std_logic;

                            Sout,Cout : out std_logic);

6
end entity adder;

end architecture adder_arch;

end architecture FourBit_Adder_arch;


When compiling, I'm getting the error message "std_logic_vector" is used 
but not declared. Not sure what's up. I appreciate your feedback.
I'm using Altera's Quartus II software version 13.1

In both cases something is missing before the keyword "entity". Just 
have a look how every VHDL description starts...

> --End of given code
Also after this line something is missing. Every VHDL module has the 
same structure:
- libraries/packages
- entity
- architecture
All those keywords must occur in a "usual" VHDL module. Just have a 
look for simple samples about components or type the keywords "vhdl 
structural adder" into google. You will find lots of hits...

My mistake, I just forgot to post with the libraries included. I don't 
need the library statement twice in one VHDL code, correct? You said in 
both cases something is missing before entity unless you just were 
referring to it once.

I figured it out! Thank you for your help! I did forget to place the 
library in the correct spot and my port mapping was incorrect.
