Would you be so kind as to show the exact bjam command you used?  I've been trying to build 1.33.1 in my spare time for over a month now and can only get about 96% of the targets to build.  Hopefully we'll be getting 1.34.0 soon, but it has to be approved through our admin/security people.  In the meantime I would still like to get the current version to build since I'm a virgin Boost user and would like to play around with it to familiarize myself with some of the classes and libraries.  The compiler version we are using is...

Subject: [Boost-users] Error compiling Boost.Python library on Solaris

Hello all!

I have a compilation error with Boost 1.34.0, Sun Workshop 11 compiler.

Compiling Python library, I get

"libs/python/src/object/class.cpp", line 458: Error: Overloading ambiguity between "boost::python::api::getattr<boost::python::scope, char[11], boost::python::str>(const boost::python::scope&, const char(&)[11], const boost::python::str&)" and "boost::python::api::getattr(const boost::python::api::object&, const char*, const boost::python::api::object&)".

The code in question is 

  object module_prefix()
  {
      return object(
          PyObject_IsInstance(scope().ptr(), upcast<PyObject>(&PyModule_Type))
          ? object(scope().attr("__name__"))
          : api::getattr(scope(), "__module__", str())  <<=====
          );
  }

Of course, casting the string constant to (const char*) solves the problem, even though I realize it's not a boost-like solution.

The rest of 1.34 compiles perfectly for me (thanks are in order - excellent job!).

The exact version of the compiler is
