 Question about the boost sample program
 I'm trying to compile the following code example:
 #include <fstream>
 #include <boost/archive/text_oarchive.hpp>
 #include <boost/archive/text_iarchive.hpp>

 class gps_position {
 private:
         friend class boost::serialization::access;
         template<class Archive>
         void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int version) {
                 ar & degrees;
                 ar & minutes;
                 ar & seconds;
         }
         int degrees;
         int minutes;
         float seconds;
 public:
         gps_position() {
                 degrees = 0;
                 minutes = 0;
                 seconds = 0.0;
         };
         gps_position(int d, int m, float s) : degrees(d), minutes(m),
 seconds(s) {}
 };

 class bus_stop {
         friend class boost::serialization::access;
         template<class Archive>
         void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int version) {
                 ar & latitude;
                 ar & longitude;
         }
         gps_position latitude;
         gps_position longitude;
 public:
         bus_stop(){ }
         bus_stop(const gps_position & lat_, const gps_position & long_) :
                  latitude(lat_), longitude(long_) { }
         virtual ~bus_stop(){ }
 };

 int main() {
         // create and open a character archive for output
         std::ofstream ofs("busfile");

         // create class instance of gps_position
         const gps_position latitude(1, 2, 3.3f);
         const gps_position longitude(4, 5, 6.6f);

         bus_stop stop(latitude, longitude);

         // save data to archive
         {
                 boost::archive::text_oarchive oa(ofs);
                 // write class instance to archive
                 oa << stop;
         }

         // ... sometime later restore class instance of bus_stop to its
 orginal state
         bus_stop newstop;
         {
                 // create and open an archive for input
                 std::ifstream ifs("busfile", std::ios::binary);
                 boost::archive::text_iarchive ia(ifs);
                 // read class state of bus_stop form archive
                 ia >> newstop;
         }
         return 0;
 }

 With the following command line:
 g++ -o boostSample demo.cc -lboost_serialization
 and it throws an compile error:
 /usr/include/boost/archive/detail/oserializer.hpp: In function ‘void
 boost::archive::save(Archive&, T&) [with Archive =
 boost::archive::text_oarchive, T = bus_stop]’:
 /usr/include/boost/archive/basic_text_oarchive.hpp:78:   instantiated from
 ‘void boost::archive::basic_text_oarchive<Archive>::save_override(T&, int)
 [with T = bus_stop, Archive = boost::archive::text_oarchive]’
 /usr/include/boost/archive/detail/interface_oarchive.hpp:78:
 instantiated from ‘Archive&
 boost::archive::detail::interface_oarchive<Archive>::operator<<(T&) [with

 demo.cc:67:   instantiated from here
 /usr/include/boost/archive/detail/oserializer.hpp:567: error: invalid
 application of ‘sizeof’ to incomplete type
 ‘boost::STATIC_ASSERTION_FAILURE<false>

 And the boost version is 1.33.1.
 By the way, the OS version is redhat 5.6 .
 Linux rhel5 2.6.18-238.el5 #1 SMP Sun Dec 19 14:24:47 EST 2010 i686 i686
 i386 GNU/Linux
 The gcc version is 4.1.2 .
 g++ -v
 Using built-in specs.
 Target: i386-redhat-linux
 config option: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man
 --infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --enable-
 checking=release --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit --disable-
 libunwind-exceptions --enable-libgcj-multifile --enable-
 languages=c,c++,objc,obj-c++,java,fortran,ada --enable-java-awt=gtk
 --disable-dssi --disable-plugin --with-java-
 home=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-gcj-1.4.2.0/jre --with-cpu=generic
 --host=i386-redhat-linux
 thread module: posix
 gcc version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-50)

 But the same codes can be compiled well, no compile errors in the other
 linux. Such as redhat4.3 and 6.0
 How can I fix it?
 Thank you.
