Hi, I'm struggling with Boost (1.32) on Solaris 8 at the moment - I do not have root access to the machine. The default compiler is gcc-2.95, and so has no <ostream> <locale> etc so the -sTOOLS=gcc toolset won't work. I then thought that the solution would be to install STLPort, but can't get this to build cleanly. Since then I have discovered that there is another version of gcc (gcc-3.2) hidden in /opt/sfw/gcc-3.2. With this I then built the boost libraries again, and installed them with the line: bjam "--prefix=/staff/cqc/ -sGCC_ROOT_DIRECTORY=/opt/sfw/gcc-3.2 -sTOOLS=gcc" install This seemed to work fine with no problems at all. I then moved the headers, and the libs to the approprite places, and set about compiling my project. The result below is repeated many many times about various files: /opt/sfw/gcc-3.2/bin/gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -D_REENTRANT -c -o zz_broker.o `test -f zz_broker.cpp || echo './'`zz_broker.cpp In file included from /opt/sfw/gcc-3.2/include/c++/3.2/utility:66, from /staff/cqc/include/boost/config/select_stdlib_config.hpp:20, from /staff/cqc/include/boost/config.hpp:40, from /staff/cqc/include/boost/smart_ptr.hpp:14, from zz_broker.h:28, from zz_broker.cpp:24: /opt/sfw/gcc-3.2/include/c++/3.2/bits/stl_relops.h:91: template with C linkage /opt/sfw/gcc-3.2/include/c++/3.2/bits/stl_relops.h:104: template with C linkage /opt/sfw/gcc-3.2/include/c++/3.2/bits/stl_relops.h:117: template with C linkage /opt/sfw/gcc-3.2/include/c++/3.2/bits/stl_relops.h:130: template with C linkage I have searched the list archives and googled around quite alot, but can't seem to find any info.
