[Boost-users] SUN Compiler Feasibility

Hi Folks,

I'm using the sun compiler:
CC: Sun WorkShop 6 update 2 C++ 5.3 Patch 111685-15
2003/05/14

I need to generate a high performance logging process
and immediately thought of the boost filesystem
service.

I have downloaded boost_1_33_0.

However, I'm getting a lot of compiler problems
using the templates which I've since realised
are common when using this compiler.
i.e. errors relating to
boost::iterator_core_access::equal and copious
warnings:
"/product/3rd_Party/boost/boost_1_33_0/boost/iterator/detail/facade_iterator_category.hpp",
line 189:     Where: Specialized in
boost::detail::facade_iterator_category_impl<boost::bidirectional_traversal_tag,
const _STL::basic_string<char,
_STL::char_traits<char>, _STL::allocator<char>>, const
_STL::basic_string<char, _STL::char_traits<char>,
_STL::allocator<char>>&>.
"/product/3rd_Party/boost/boost_1_33_0/boost/mpl/eval_if.hpp",
line 41:     Where: Specialized in
boost::mpl::eval_if<boost::detail::is_iterator_category<boost::bidirectional_traversal_tag>,
boost::mpl::identity<boost::bidirectional_traversal_tag>,
boost::detail::facade_iterator_category_impl<boost::bidirectional_traversal_tag,
const _STL::basic_string<char,
_STL::char_traits<char>, _STL::allocator<char>>, const
_STL::basic_string<char, _STL::char_traits<char>,
_STL::allocator<char>>&>>.
"/product/cs_common/3rd_Party/boost/boost_1_33_0/boost/iterator/detail/facade_iterator_category.hpp",
line 202:     Where: Specialized in
boost::detail::facade_iterator_category<boost::bidirectional_traversal_tag,
const _STL::basic_string<char,
_STL::char_traits<char>, _STL::allocator<char>>, const
_STL::basic_string<char, _STL::char_traits<char>,
_STL::allocator<char>>&>.

My question is quite simple:
Is it feasible for me to use boost's filesystem 
utility with this version of the Sun compiler?
Should I persist?

Many Thanks in advance,
Joe
