Bruce, as I replied to you on the boost developers' list, I think you should report these to Sun. I'm really surprised you only see two errors. The last time I tried to get Boost libraries to work with a released Sun compiler (a couple of months ago), I was only able to make Sun pass around 50% of all boost regression tests. It's ability to handle standard C++ constructs was so bad that I don't think there's any hope of getting it to work with Boost.Python. I've heard reports that their pre-release compiler implements a lot of bug fixes needed to work with Boost. Is that what you're using? If so, I still don't have access to this compiler so it's unlikely I'll be able to come up with a workaround for its bugs. If you come up with something that makes it work, please submit a patch! -Dave -- David Abrahams dave@boost-consulting.com * http://www.boost-consulting.com Boost support, enhancements, training, and commercial distribution
