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.

Ah! Actually, I bumped into this one not long ago. Instead of boost::units I was building up a namespace along the lines cs:units for our company's name-sake and to avoid too much in the way of namespace collusion. So in that case, I would still need my names and symbols kept in boost::units.
