Unfortunately, this is the rest of the context for the error message:

template <typename T> 
struct is_arithmetic
{ 
   BOOST_STATIC_CONSTANT(bool, value = 
      (::boost::type_traits::ice_or< 
         ::boost::is_integral<T>::value,
         ::boost::is_float<T>::value
      >::value)); 
};

There isn't much more that anyone could do to make that more portable...
