Here is he key. The serialization library has some special code to handle boosts beloved shared_ptr. This special code is found in boost/archive/shared_ptr_helper.hpp. it is added in at the "last possible moment" via public inheritance. see "boost\archive\binary_iarchive.hpp". This adds a special function called "reset". It seems that MPI serialization doesn't add in this functionality - hence the compile error. So the fix would be tweak the MPI serialization implementation to address this. It's not clear to me what this would entail. Longer term - some day - would be to add the functionaliy of a "generic helper" which any serialization implementation could use to permit serialization of otherwise unserializable classes.
