[Boost-users] Including boost threads

Hello,

Probably a newbie question, but here it goes: if I include the boost 
thread as follows

#include <boost/thread/thread.hpp>

and try to compile my library in MSVC++ 2005, I get a lot of errors in 
c:\boost\include\boost-1_33_1\boost\bind\mem_fn_template.hpp

I have included a piece of the errorlog next:

3>c:\boost\include\boost-1_33_1\boost\bind\mem_fn_template.hpp(120) : 
error C2917: '_av *' : invalid template-parameter
3>c:\boost\include\boost-1_33_1\boost\bind\mem_fn_template.hpp(126) : 
error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 
'second_argument_type'
3> c:\boost\include\boost-1_33_1\boost\bind\mem_fn_template.hpp(171) :

'boost::_mfi::mf1<R,T,_av>' being compiled
3>c:\boost\include\boost-1_33_1\boost\bind\mem_fn_template.hpp(126) : 
error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not 
support default-int
3>c:\boost\include\boost-1_33_1\boost\bind\mem_fn_template.hpp(126) :

support default-int
......

 >c:\boost\include\boost-1_33_1\boost\bind\mem_fn_template.hpp(581) : 
error C2917: '_av *' : invalid template-parameter
3>c:\boost\include\boost-1_33_1\boost\bind\mem_fn_template.hpp(581) : 
error C2991: redefinition of template parameter '_av'
3> c:\boost\include\boost-1_33_1\boost\bind\mem_fn_template.hpp(581) :

3>c:\boost\include\boost-1_33_1\boost\bind\mem_fn_template.hpp(581) : 
fatal error C1003: error count exceeds 100; stopping compilation

Could someone give me any pointers to what could be the problem? When 
using it in a very simple program, it does work. Including it in my 
quite large library it does not work.

Kind regards,
Christian
