Hi, I have the follow function: void dumpRL(const RectList& orgRectList, ostream& os) { for_each(orgRectList.begin(), orgRectList.end(), boost::lambda::bind( &Rect::dump , boost::lambda::_1, boost::ref (os) )); } where typedef shared_ptr<Rect> RectPtr; typedef vector<RectPtr> RectList; And in my Rect class, I have class Rect { void dump(ostream& os) const; } But I am getting this compile error: /usr/local/include/boost-1_35/boost/lambda/detail/actions.hpp: In static member function 'static RET boost::lambda::function_action<3, T>::apply(A1&, A2&, A3&) [with RET = void, A1 = void (Rect::* const)(std::ostream&)const, A2 = const boost::shared_ptr<Rect>, A3 = std::basic_ostream, T = boost::lambda::detail::unspecified]': /usr/local/include/boost-1_35/boost/lambda/detail/lambda_functor_base.hpp:425: instantiated from 'RET boost::lambda::lambda_functor_base, Args>::call(A&, B&, C&, Env&) const [with RET = void, A = const boost::shared_ptr<Rect>, B = const boost::tuples::null_type, C = const boost::tuples::null_type, Env = const boost::tuples::null_type, Act = boost::lambda::function_action<3, boost::lambda::detail::unspecified>, Args = boost::tuples::tuple >, std::basic_ostream&, boost::tuples::null_type, boost::tuples::null_type, boost::tuples::null_type, boost::tuples::null_type, boost::tuples::null_type, boost::tuples::null_type, boost::tuples::null_type>]' /usr/local/include/boost-1_35/boost/lambda/detail/lambda_functors.hpp:156: instantiated from 'typename T::sig >::type boost::lambda::lambda_functor<Base>::operator()(const A&) const [with A = boost::shared_ptr<Rect>, T = boost::lambda::lambda_functor_base

Can you please tell me what am I missing? It works when I have typedef Rect* RectPtr; Thank you for any pointer.
