Hello,<br>I&#39;m using Boost 1.46.1 with filesystem v3. Code that I&#39;ve been running successfully on Windows, Linux and FreeBSD started producing very mysterious results on Solaris. I boiled it down to this: boost::filesystem will not identify a directory as a directory. Here&#39;s a test program:<br>
<br>#include &lt;boost/filesystem.hpp&gt;<br><br>int main()<br>{<br>    try<br>    {<br>        boost::filesystem::path d(boost::filesystem::absolute(&quot;dir&quot;));<br>        if (boost::filesystem::exists(d))<br>        {<br>
            std::cout &lt;&lt; d &lt;&lt; &quot; already exists&quot; &lt;&lt; std::endl;<br>        }<br>        else<br>        {<br>            boost::filesystem::create_directory(d);<br>            std::cout &lt;&lt; d &lt;&lt; &quot; is &quot; &lt;&lt; (boost::filesystem::is_directory(d) ? &quot;&quot; : &quot;not&quot;) &lt;&lt;<br>
                &quot; a directory&quot; &lt;&lt; std::endl;<br>        }<br>    }<br>    catch (std::exception&amp; e)<br>    {<br>        std::cout &lt;&lt; &quot;Exception: &quot; &lt;&lt; e.what() &lt;&lt; std::endl;<br>
    }<br>    return 0;<br>}<br><br>And here is a snippet of a terminal session compiling and running the program:<br><br>$ CC -o fstest fstest.cpp -library=stlport4 -Iexternal/solaris/x86/64/suncc/5.11/include external/solaris/x86/64/suncc/5.11/lib/libboost_filesystem.a external/solaris/x86/64/suncc/5.11/lib/libboost_system.a<br>
