I'm glad to see the OP has got this to work, but would caution that occasionally the above can get
you into trouble (as can "using namespace std:" and if Boost expands with GIT and modularity it will
happen more often when names clash).

Being more specific (or at least more local), for example,  "using boost::spririt;" is to be
encouraged.
