The gcc version installed on the test platform may affect the results; The tests (link above) are run on RHEL/(most probably)gcc 4.1.2. I encountered the compilation issues for the first time on Fedora 9/gcc 4.3.0 but on Fedora 8/gcc 4.1.2 everything compiles fine. Why this should affect the compilation is a mystery to me.
Me too, except the Intel compiler does emulate the installed GCC version. I'll attempt to emulate this on my ubuntu install later when I can get some free CPU cycles on my machine! In the mean time if you could check to see if Intel-11 compiles the type_traits tests on the problem platform that would be great.
I've tested Boost 1.37 on our main cluster that has gcc 4.1.2, and everything compiles correctly. Ubuntu 8.10 ships with gcc 4.3, where I had the compilation failure.
