[Boost-users] [function][lambda] Create a boost function to a bind functor

Hi,
I would like to create a boost::function to a lambda::bind functor such as

float fx(float a, float b) { return a+b; }

int main()
{
  boost::function<float(float)> f = boost::lambda::bind(fx,_2,2);
  std::cout << f(3) << std::endl;
  return 0;
}

I would expect this to bind 2 to the "b" argument of fx, and print "5".
Instead with msvc-8.0 I get a bunch or compile errors.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Chris
