[boost] [format] Compiler error when using the Sun compiler.

Can someone please assist?

This code below doesn't compile when I use the Sun compiler. My company is currently using boost 1.33.0, and I cannot do anything
about that, but I want to use boost::format. What modification can I make to the format files to fix this issue?

Thanks,

#include <boost/format.hpp>

int main( int, char ** )
{
    boost::format fmt( "test %d %d\n" );
}
