are you trying to build Boost.Python? If so, follow the configuration
instructions at www.boost.org/libs/python/building.html. Otherwise you can
ignore this part.

It looks to me as though you've found an interaction between STLPort and the
solaris "C" headers. Perhaps somewhere there's an unterminated extern "C"
{... block?

If you look at the top of c_regex_traits.cpp, you'll see it begins:

    #define BOOST_REGEX_SOURCE

    #include <clocale>
    #include <cstdio>
    #include <list>

And your problem has already happened by this point. So, I guess all I can
tell you is "it's not a Boost bug". You might try looking at the
preprocessed compiler output to see what's going on here.
