The only code I am including that was not self-developed is standard C/C++ headers and Boost stuff. I have just confirmed that if I comment-out the line which #includes boost/thread, the code compiles fine. If I put the line back in (not even trying to use the Boost stuff, just including that header), I get all the errors again.
