If possible, can you retry with the boost.asio 0.3.8 release

candidate:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=122478 or against the CVS HEAD version of boost. It won't work for HP-UX yet, but I'd like to make the changes against the latest source code. If

the

changes are trivial (meaning changes to #ifdefs only) then I'd be happy to add support for HP-UX in 0.3.8 (but only with _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED undefined).

Hi Chris, I am yet to try boost.asio 0.3.8. But I have tried to build the daytime_client.cpp on AIX 5.3 with xlC 8.00 and Solaris 10 with Studio 11 without any success. Following errors relating to msghdr crop up often on Solaris: /boost/1_33_1/64/boost/asio/detail/socket_ops.hpp", line 170: Err or: msg_control is not a member of msghdr.
