Hi All Can anyone tell me how to fix this? It's fine with one Fedora/Boost version combination, but not with another!

Which one would that be?

Possibilities: 1) Use boost::bind and cast max to the right function type (ugly): bind(static_cast(&std::max), ....)

OR

2) Use boost::phoenix (if you have 1.47 or above):

2.1) Adapt the max function:

OR

2.2) Use some shortcut syntax: boost::phoenix::bind(&std::max, ...)

Hi Thomas I'm acutely aware how easily and painlessly Phoenix would solve my problems, but sadly it won't be an option for me for quite a while in production code. In the meantime your suggestion 1 nearly works - I found I needed to write bind(static_cast(&std::max), ....) Thanks for your help. - Rob.
