I tried adding

std::string name_string(const minute&) { return "min"; }

std::string symbol_string(const minute&) { return "min"; }

but that didn't change anything. Interestingly, if I change the scale from 60 to 10, it compiles and runs fine. What am I missing?

Where did you put the overloads? They need to go in namespace boost::units, to be found by ADL.

I had a feeling it was something simple like that. Thanks, Steven! That fixes my simple case, but unfortunately, I'm still getting the same compilation error with my actual source. I've cut it down to a (relatively) small case, attached. Interestingly, I tried to eliminate the degree dimension from the system, but that caused the minute typedef to fail to compile with a the_specified_dimension_is_not_representible_in_the_given_system assertion. ~MJI ------------------ Michael J.
