Hello, Has anyone gotten boost_1_31 to compile with Forte 8.0 (__SUNPRO_CC = x550) ? I get errors for the boost::iterator.

I don't know about that particular version, but historically Sun compilers have had such lousy template support that getting Boost to work on them has been all but hopeless. Sun 0x560 is showing 54% failures at http://www.boost.org/regression-logs/cs-SunOS.html.

Also, does anyone know if the next release of boost will be compatible with forte 8.0?

Very unlikely. Sun needs to fix their darned compiler before we stand much of a chance with it. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
