[Boost-users] random_demo.cpp doesn't work with VC++6.0?

From: Vivid Yang (yyd_iris_at_[hidden])

Hi,

I failed to compile random_demo.cpp 
(www.boost.org/libs/random/random_demo.cpp) with VC++6.0 under WINXP sp2.
I have attached the error message below.
(I have installed VC++6.0 service pack 4,5 and 6.)
Could anybody help?

Examples of using boost::random will help too, such as uniform_01 and 
normal_distribution, etc.

Thanks a lot.
Vivid

(test2.cpp is random_demo.cpp)
