Thanks for the suggestions!
Unfortunately it doesn't work (same error message).

I tried this too and it also doesn't work.

Please don't spend any time on this. Only crystallographers are crazy enough to
still use the old SGI's, and in crystallography we may be the only people crazy
enough to use boost. :) If there are objections against my simple workaround
I'll just maintain the patch locally until SGI is completely dead, no big deal.

Cheers,
