Questions: a) do the standard libraries on this platform support wide char i/o? d) Is the properly reflected in the boost/config.hpp files? This code is conditioned upon macros defined in boost/config.hpp and its inclusions. These should be checked to see that they are in sync with the libraries used on this platform.

Hi, I am trying to build the lastest boost release candidate (also tried the latest CVS version), and I am getting the below compiler error. I suppose, there is some problem with the wide character support, but I could not fix it. Perhaps someone on this list had similar problems and knows what to do?

Configured with: FreeBSD/i386 system compiler Thread model: posix gcc version 3.4.2 [FreeBSD] 20040728 Let me know, if you need more info, or if I should ask somewhere else, and thanks in advance for your time.
