Hi,

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner... my coworker that did the 
original tests could not come up with a good sample very easily, so 
we postponed it until we got a copy of the latest xLC installed.

With the latest version, the Boost code compiles without errors, so 
I am guessing that the compiler was either incorrect, or the standard
has changed in this respect.  All the code now compiles on AIX, 
except, of course, we can't use the "install" option for some reason.

Thanks for everyone's help.
