Here's an OpenSolaris proposal to change this (not sure of the status of Solaris 11). The RogueWave STL has become the Apache STDCXX project, http://stdcxx.apache.org/. If that becomes the new STL on Solaris, then Boost may be usable with the default compiler and STL configuration.

Interesting, thanks Paul.
However Boost + SunStudio/libCstd is likely to be non-starter as Boost requires a high level of standards compliance. Even Boost + SunStudio/STLport didn't work for quite some time. Here's a blog I used to follow as SunStudio/STLport approached usability with Boost. The first version that worked out of the box was 1.34.1.
Right, the question now is whether the later versions of Boost will actually start building with newer compilers and the default libCstd (which may have improved). Has anybody tried with Solaris 11 or even Solaris 10?
Thanks,
Thank you too Paul, definitely appreciated. -- Dean Michael Berris deanberris.com
