[Boost-users] Problems with lexical_cast

Hello,

I am trying to convert from wchar_t to std::string with

#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <boost/lexical_cast.hpp>

int main()
{
        std::cout << boost::lexical_cast<std::string>(L"blah") << std::endl;
        return 0;
}

but I get the following error:
d:\SDK\boost\include\boost-1_32\boost\lexical_cast.hpp(158) : error 
C2679: binary '=' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand 
of type 'std::basic_stringstream<_Elem,_Traits,_Alloc>::_Mystr' (or 
there is no acceptable conversion)

Any ideas? This is with boost 1.3.2 and VC7.1

Best regards,

Georgios
