Comment:

 I don't understand.  uniform_int_distribution.hpp exists and is the
 preferred header to use as it matches the C++11 standard.  boost::mt19937
 is the old name and is still provided for backwards compatibility.
 boost::random::mt19937 is preferable.  It sounds to me like you're using
 an old version of Boost but looking at the new documentation.
