Many thanks Joaquin:

I downloaded the attached file, it works just fine.

* Are you using some using directive? Which one?
The code it's included in a namespace declaration
namespace emedia {
   namespace lumiere {
   
    /*
       The sample code goes in here
    */

   }
}

----------------------
apart of that there is no added using declaration (except using boost::multi_index).

* Are you doing some funny thing with the "mem_fun"
identifier inside "Item.h"?
No

* What happens if you fully qualify mem_fun, i.e. if
you write ::boost::multi_index::mem_fun?

Well, when I tried this option it worked!

It looks like gcc missed the "using boost::multi_index" declaration.

In order to gain experience: If you have any idea what was the problem it will be appreciated.

Thanks again.

René

Hello René,

I really can't reproduce the problem you describe.
The attached file tries to mimic your scenario (with
a dummy Item definition) and here everything works OK. Could
you please try it in your environment?

I guess the problem is not in what you describe, but in what
you don't, I mean, sorrounding details that you're taking
for granted. Things to check:

* Are you using some using directive? Which one?
* Are you doing some funny thing with the "mem_fun"
identifier inside "Item.h"?
* What happens if you fully qualify mem_fun, i.e. if
you write ::boost::multi_index::mem_fun?

I hope some of the above rings a bell for you. Please
report back. Best,
