I'm interested in knowing if this solution does work. The Boost.Interval
library always had (and still has) this kind of error in the regression
logs for STLPort-4.5.3. However I couldn't reproduce it with my own
version of STLPort. And since nobody seemed to care about this
particular platform, I supposed that it was a bug in the old version of
STLPort that was later corrected. I would be glad to learn it's only a
matter of including <string>. Can anybody confirm that by simply adding
#include <string> the compilers don't complain anymore about this kind
of error?
