I presume that if I replace the or with something belonging to an earlier standard that this may get me a bit further.

Any thoughts?

Change parallel_stable_sort to boost::sort::parallel_stable_sort. The public api is entirely in the boost::sort namespace, the documentation just omits it for brevity.

I get similar messages when trying to use any of the serial
Or parallel routines.

The documentation says that I only need to include

#include <boost/sort/sort.hpp>

To make things available.

Any thoughts?
