[boost] [config] problem with sys/select.h on Linux/Unix

Hi, boost config seems to be indirectly including sys/select.h on Linux. This causing me a problem in my sockets library where I have my own declarations of select, fd_set etc which cause duplicate symbols errors. No only can I not use config but also any boost lib as they all use config :-(. Can someone please suggest a fix for this? Out of curiosity, why does config use select.h? regards /ikh -- "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it," Evelyn Beatrice Hall who wrote under the pseudonym S.G.
