[Boost-users] Problems with compiling Filesystem library on Solaris

Hi,
I get the following error from the Filesystem library when building boost 1_31 on Solaris with sunpro compiler:

"/db/pub/eq/build/src/boost_1_31_0/boost/iterator/iterator_facade.hpp", line 622: Error: Could not find a match for boost::iterator_core_access::equal<boost::iterator_core_access::Facade1, boost::iterator_core_access::Facade2>(const boost::filesystem::directory_iterator, const boost::filesystem::directory_iterator, boost::is_convertible<boost::filesystem::directory_iterator, boost::filesystem::directory_iterator>).

"/db/pub/eq/build/src/boost_1_31_0/libs/filesystem/build/../src/operations_posix_windows.cpp", line 176:     Where: While instantiating "boost::operator==<boost::filesystem::directory_iterator, boost::filesystem::path, boost::single_pass_traversal_tag, boost::filesystem::path&, int, boost::filesystem::directory_iterator, boost::filesystem::path, boost::single_pass_traversal_tag, boost::filesystem::path&, int>(const boost::iterator_facade<boost::filesystem::directory_iterator, boost::filesystem::path, boost::single_pass_traversal_tag, boost::filesystem::path&, int>&, const boost::iterator_facade<boost::filesystem::directory_iterator, boost::filesystem::path, boost::single_pass_traversal_tag, boost::filesystem::path&, int>&)".

"/db/pub/eq/build/src/boost_1_31_0/libs/filesystem/build/../src/operations_posix_windows.cpp", line 176:     Where: Instantiated from non-template code.

It looks suspiciously similar to bug "[ 976241 ] Compiler error for tokenizer on Solaris" from 2004-06-20, with the difference
that I am using version 5.3 of sunpro rather than 5.5.

My guess is there must be some flag/macro/workaround I am missing (as this specific library is supposed to be portable to many OSs and compilers)
, but have no idea what that may be. Any suggestions would be a blessing.

Thanks,
Barak
