I failed to compile random_demo.cpp (www.boost.org/libs/random/random_demo.cpp) with VC++6.0 under WINXP sp2. I have attached the error message below. (I have installed VC++6.0 service pack 4,5 and 6.) Could anybody help?

If you go to http://tinyurl.com/53scv#random You'll see that the Boost developers also never got it working on vc6.

If I remember, mersienne_twister didn't compile on VC6. If you must use on VC6, you might try using another random number generator. Also include only the specific headers you want, not 'boost/random.hpp'. HTH -- Best regards, Sebastien mailto:smartel@real.com
