In my current project we are using boost extensively,

with exceptions disabled, until last week, when I started using boost threads. I get the following error when compiling...

This means that any header file that includes,

/usr/local/include/boost/exception/detail/exception_ptr.hpp:17:2: error: #error This header requires exception handling to be enabled. thread.hpp can't be compiled with -fno-exceptions. I have couple of questions if someone could help me with, I would appreciate.

It appears that this is due to a dependency of Boost Thread on Boost Exception's exception_ptr. Somebody should look into this and either remove that dependency or add #ifndef BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS around the relevant code (unfortunately I don't have time right now to look into this myself.)

Thanks for a response Emil. Do you think you can spare some time for hand holding, so that I can make this change... :) Thanks PS: I love this link on your webpage. http://www.revergestudios.com/reblog/uploads/ReCode/languages1.jpg. Everybody in my group got a kick out of it.
