Hello,

I have been trying to build the boost libraries using the most recent 
sun compiler now distributed by oracle.  I am not able to get the 
library to compile and I am wondering if someone could confirm that the 
sun compiler can compile this library.  The following are the 
particulars of what I have done.

I am using the suse 11.4 operating system

I have tried building the boost versions 1.46.1, 1.45.

I have used the following command to try and compile boost

sh ./bootstrap.sh --with-libraries=system,thread,filesystem 
--with-toolset=sun

Which results in the following for version 1.45
Building Boost.Jam with toolset sun... 
tools/build/v2/engine/src/bin.linuxx86_64/bjam
Unicode/ICU support for Boost.Regex?... not found.
Generating Boost.Build configuration in project-config.jam...

Bootstrapping is done. To build, run:

     ./bjam

To adjust configuration, edit 'project-config.jam'.
Further information:

    - Command line help:
      ./bjam --help

    - Getting started guide:
      http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html

    - Boost.Build documentation:
      http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/index.html

When I run ./bjam only the system library compiles and I receive errors 
such as:

sun.compile.c++
