The error you made is that you mixed boost bind with lambda, which is not compatible.

A solution with Phoenix looks like this:

using boost::phoenix::arg_names::_1; using boost::phoenix::bind; using boost::phoenix::if_;

std::for_each( nodes->begin(), nodes->end(), if_(bind(&XML_Element::getName, _1) == "Transform") [ bind(&HandleStuff::handleTransformations, this, _1) ] .else_ [ bind(&HandleStuff::handleLinks, this, _1) ] );

Yes, it worked. I did not know Phoenix and included now boost/spirit/include/phoenix.hpp - quite big during compilation. It solved my Problem, but if this is a type missmatch - how can i solve this without Phoenix. I have to understand what is going on. I tried to solve this with explicit namespace declarations and replaced _1 via boost::lambda::_1 I also tried to replace all with ::_1 which should explicitly take the declarations from bind/placeholders.hpp thouse are in an unnamed namespace. Please - how can I solve this without using Phoenix? - Not that i don't like your solution but i will understand. Simon
