Hi, see these lines:

boost::shared_ptr<Nameable> a=executor; boost::shared_ptr<Executor> sp;
sp=boost::dynamic_pointer_cast<Executor>(a);
It's possible that dynamic_cast doesn't work across dynamic libraries on your platform.
See http://lists.apple.com/archives/xcode-users/2006/Jul/msg00301.html (start there) and http://lists.apple.com/archives/xcode-users/2006/Jul/msg00386.html and http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2007/tn2185.html for a description of this problem (on Mac OS X, but really a gcc problem) - especially the part around "Comparing types is important for catching exceptions, dynamic_cast, and comparing type_info's obtained by a typeid expression." -- -- Marshall Marshall Clow Idio Software mailto:marshall@idio.com It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.
