When you're passing a functor (such as boost::function) to a boost::function, you need to explicitly tell it what the return value is. So in your case, if you change:

<code>
//BEGIN PROBLEM
OneArgFunction          f_oneArg;

f_oneArg = boost::bind(f2, ulValue, _1);
//END PROBLEM
return(DoIt_One(f_oneArg));
</code>

To

<code>
//BEGIN PROBLEM
OneArgFunction          f_oneArg;

f_oneArg = boost::bind<bool>(f2, ulValue, _1); // Note the "<bool>" //END PROBLEM return(DoIt_One(f_oneArg)); </code>

It should work fine.
