Thanks for the response.  Sadly, I had tried that and no luck.  The problem seems to be the difference in standard libraries providing these functions, which isn't surprising since the transition to C++0X standard errors seems to be a key goal of boost::system.

I tracked down the usage of these two functions to error_code.hpp.   I modifed error_code to remove the calls to those functions and things worked for some cases, but other operations in boost::filesystem   require these functions as well.  I was able to get a lot of stuff to work.  However:  boost::test, boost::filesystem, boost::mpi all seem incompatible with C++0X builds in intel.  So I am forced to go live without "auto" for now.

Is using boost with /Qstd:c++0x on the horizon anytime soon?  It sure would make life easier for generic programmers.
