Ah! I had thought it was just a "header file only" library. Whoops. That
did fix the first problem. I tried switching to STLPort, and this time I
copied the errors from the compiler. I guess that answers my question
whether it was an STL specific problem. There is really no reason I have to
use advance(), but I believe a model of Input Iterator should work with it.

Error follows:
C:\Documents and Settings\waldbcar.WALDBCAR\My Documents\My
Projects\VC\stlport\STLport-4.5.3\stlport\stl/_iterator_base.h(443) :
error C2664:
'struct _STL::random_access_iterator_tag __cdecl
_STL::iterator_category(const struct _STL::_Bit_iterator_base &)' :
cannot convert parameter 1 from
'class boost::date_time::date_itr
This isn't the way to handle this. You will need to build and link the library (libboost_date_time). If you cd to libs/date_time/build and run bjam that will take care of it.
then the compiler started complaining when I tried to use std::advance.
is unfortunate that I do not have the exact error in front of me right now, but I did trace the problem to the definition of month_iterator. I found that if I derived its base implementation class from the class template iterator that it would compile without problems. Is this a problem with
STL that ships with MSVC6?
Unclear without the detail. The regression tests for MSVC6 do pass, so
It the there
is hope.
