[Boost-users] [Units] Converting from angular_velocity to degrees_per_second

I need to make a conversion from a general angular_velocity to
degrees/second. For example:

  boost::units::quantity< boost::units::si::angular_velocity>
m_speed((30.0*boost::units::si::radians_per_second));
  uint32_t result
= static_cast<uint32_t>(boost::units::quantity<boost::units::si::angular_velocity,uint32_t>(m_speed*boost::units::degree::degrees/boost::units::si::seconds).value());

However it fails to compile in gcc 4.4, reporting:
 error:incomplete type '[type removed]' used in nested name specifier

Could someone explain the proper syntax to achieve the desired type
specification and subsequent conversion? Do I need to specify a
degrees_per_second unit, and if so, how? Thank you in advance for your help.

Cheers!
