Yes, somehwat annoyingly, but easily cured by commenting it out /* source */ (or deleting, but then the helpful documentation is lost, so not my preference). A Minor isse but a minor thing to cure. | > Do you need a using boost::mpl::size_t;? to resolve the ambiguity? | | I think it's the opposite problem - the cxxabi.h header has a bunch | of references to size_t that aren't qualified with std::. Anyway, I | think the problem went away (again, per Deane) when I moved | my using | namespace boost::mpl; inside the boost::units namespace. Again, | please correct me if I'm wrong... John Maddock has used using namespace std; WITHIN the function scope to overcome what I think was the same widespread problem in math distributions with not finding pow in namespace std. However, I am on holiday for 10 days, so I can't test for you now.
