What I am getting back from the g++ compiler is the following error message:

error: cannot convert `boost::function' to `void (*)()' for argument `1' to `void glutDisplayFunc(void (*)())'

Any ideas where I am going wrong?

You are passing a function object to a C function which expects a function pointer. A boost::function can not be converted into a function pointer.

I appreciate the response pointing out the error. It would be nice to have a solution and not just a critique. Stephen
