(Latest CVS version.)

BCB decides Path::string_type is char (unsigned char, signed char)
and fails to find its string_type and value_type.

Either the code block can be commented out (like it is for VC6, VC7.0) with

#if !BOOST_WORKAROUND(__BORLANDC__, BOOST_TESTED_AT(0x564))

(tested, works)

or specialisations for char, signed char, unsigned char and wchar_t
can be created for BCB instead of one generic one (tested, also works).

Example:

    template< class Path >
    std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char> > &

    operator<< (std::basic_ostream< char, std::char_traits<char> >& os, 
const Path & ph)
    {
      os << ph.string();
      return os;
    }
    // other specialisations
