If this is what I think it is, it's been fixed on the trunk and in the next release. Robert Ramey Ruediger Berlich wrote:

Hi there,

when trying to compile Boost 1.35 on a vanilla OpenSUSE 11.0 system (which runs g++ 4.3.1), the serialization library fails to compile. The error messages are shown at the end of this mail.

I did not find any corresponding reports on the mailing lists. Is this a known problem ?

The serialization library seems to properly build in the current trunk version (as of June 26). Note, though, that I didn't test its functionality. The iostreams library fails to build in the trunk version, which I assume is due to the beta status.

Best Regards, Ruediger

P.S.: BTW: Is there some more or less automated way in which I can contribute to platform tests ? I.e., I'd just like to download a beta version of a new release, build it in my environment and let the build system deal with the specifics of reporting failures. OpenSUSE seems to frequently have problems with Boost, so this might be worth it.
