I'm not sure where 'days' is coming from -- its not
a class in the library.  Based on the compiler error 
it looks like the issue is using date_duration intead 
of time duration with the time_period.

So instead you could do something like:

hours duration(24);

Or if you really want a class called days
you can do something like:

class days : public boost::posix_time::time_duration
{
public:
  days(int day_count) :
     boost::posix_time::time_duration(day_count*24)
  {}
};

HTH.  And, BTW in the upcoming 1.30 release you will be
able to get rid of all the DATE_TIME_INLINE stuff...
