Dear Volodya,

Does

help?

Nope. Because (using some automatic tools), I DO know that most of those member functions that the error messages in the P.S. mentions are not implemented in my respective Boost.Serialization directory. Might that be because Serialization needs some form of pre-use build? Or, am I missing something else? TIA, --Hossein P.S. P.S.
