[Boost-users] boost unit test compilation problem

Hi list.

I'm trying to compile and run simple unit test, but only to fail:

#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>

using namespace std;
using namespace boost::unit_test;
using namespace boost;

void force_division_by_zero()
{
    BOOST_CHECKPOINT("About to force division by zero!");
    int i = 1, j = 0;
    i = i / j;
}

test_suite*
init_unit_test_suite(int, char*)
{
    test_suite* test = BOOST_TEST_SUITE("Unit test example2");

    test->add(BOOST_TEST_CASE(&force_division_by_zero), 1);

    return test;
}

This does not compile though this is the program shown in the document.
The errors are:

I'm compiling the sorce like g++ filename.cpp. My environments:
$ g++ -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: x86_64-redhat-linux
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man

redhat-linux
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.0.2 20051125 (Red Hat 4.0.2-8)

Any idea?
