that's great! Adam, i tried all the solutions you mentioned above, 

the my_linear_tag method failed to compile the insert method,

 compiler complains:

D:\boost\boost_1_54_0\boost/geometry/index/rtree.hpp(1048): error C2664: ˇ°boost::geometry::index::detail::rtree::visitors::insert<Element,Value,Options,Translator,Box,Allocators,InsertTag>::insert(boost::interprocess::offset_ptr<PointedType,DifferenceType,OffsetType,OffsetAlignment> &,size_t &,const Value &,const boost::geometry::index::linear<MaxElements,MinElements> &,const Translator &,Allocators &,size_t)ˇ±: cannot convert parameter 5  from ˇ°params_tˇ± to ˇ°const boost::geometry::index::linear<MaxElements,MinElements> &ˇ±

then i modified the boost/geometry/index/detail/rtree/options.hpp according to github, and it worked perfectly!

thanks Adam.
