Hi there,

I'm a new user of the boost library. I want to use the Boost Graph
Library (BGL). For this I downloaded the complete boost package from
www.boost.org (boost_all.tar.gz). It is Boost v. 1.28.0.

I uncompressed and unpacked the stuff into a directory. Then I created
a simple example program to play around with BGL. I ran into trouble
when I tried to compile the code. I'm using gcc 2.95.2 on SPARC Sun
Solaris 2.7. With the "-pedantic" option given I get this failure:

In file included from
../../../boost_1_28_0/boost/detail/numeric_traits.hpp:69,
                 from
../../../boost_1_28_0/boost/counting_iterator.hpp:57,
                 from

                 from
../../../boost_1_28_0/boost/graph/adjacency_list.hpp:293,
                 from nd_patch.C:21:
../../../boost_1_28_0/boost/cstdint.hpp:202: too many `l's in integer
constant
../../../boost_1_28_0/boost/cstdint.hpp:205: #error defaults not
correct; you must hand modify boost/cstdint.hpp
*** Error code 1

Without the -pedantic option everything works fine. As far as I
understand I cannot use the option anymore for code that references
BGL #includes. Is this a known problem and is there -- maybe -- a
workaround?

I'd like to use -pedantic because it helps me write standard
conformant code.
