Boost.Interprocess gcc 3.2.3 compilation problem

Hi all, I've tried Interprocess library for a few days and everything seems to work perfectly However, when I try to compile example code with an older gcc (gcc 3.2.3), I'm getting errors regarding template instanciation /homer/lvacca/interprocess-2006--10/boost/interprocess/allocators/allocator.hpp:62: no class template named `pointer_to_other' in `boost::interprocess::detail' It seems gcc is unable to resolve the typedef in allocator.hpp (line 62) typedef typename detail::pointer_to_other <aux_pointer_t, const void>::type cvoid_ptr; to template class pointer_to_other in utilities.hpp Here are the different combos I tried: gcc 3.3 works fine with the two interprocess librairies available in boost vault (first release and october snapshot) and boost 1.33.1 gcc 3.2.3 + boost Interprocess + boost 1.33.1 fails Is gcc 3.2.3 supposed to work and compile Boost.Interprocess code ?

I'm sorry to tell you that I've only tested Interprocess for gcc >= 3.4 and I don't plan to support older gcc-s, because I don't have access to them. If you can provide some patches or hints, I have no problem to add them to the code, of course. But I just noticed that supported compiler information is not in the documentation, so I should add that the next for the Interprocess version. Regards, Ion
