Hi, John Torjo's latest version (May 19) fixes my problems. Thanks again John.

It certainly seems to be perfect for my needs. But I'm having all sorts of trouble on Red Hat with gcc 3.2.2-5. I had to modify some source to avoid compile errors, which has me worried given my lack of expertise. In log.hpp, I had to change (sorry, I can't paste in code or compiler output, this is typed in) template struct logger_keeper_is_enabled... to template struct logger_keeper_is_enabled... to avoid shadowing is_enabled in ts_posix.hpp, I had to change the mutex ctr from mutex() : m_mutex(0) {... to mutex() {... This seems OK because m_mutex is initialized in the ctr body. After making those changes, I tried the example in the basic_usage.html. It hangs on the first call to BOOST_DEFINE_LOG. I traced it with gdb to find_log_by_name() at log_manager.cpp:294. From there, it goes to the logger_info ctr. It hangs in lwm_pthreads.hpp:72 in the scoped_lock ctr, apparently trying to get a lock. Of course my mods to the source and general lack of insight have me worried. I expect difficulties as an "early adopter" but any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW, is anyone else trying to use this yet? Thanks, Randy
