Hi All,

I posted this question on boost.users list but did not get any response.

My first attempt to switch my project from boost 1.29 to 1.30 failed miserably due to compilation errors in random library.

Simple

#include <boost/random/mersenne_twister.hpp>

#include <boost/random/normal_distribution.hpp>

int main() {return 0;}

Fails with lots of error messages:

I:\SW\EXTERNAL\BOOST_1_30_0\boost/random/uniform_01.hpp(44) : error C2275: 'std::numeric_limits<`template-parameter258'>::is_integer' : illegal use of this type as an expression
