[Boost-users] Problems with boost::asio::local::stream_protocol::iostream under Boost 1.36.0

I'm trying to use asio::local::stream_protocol::iostream to connect to a 
server (using Boost library version 1.36.0).  The code looks something 
like this:

boost::asio::local::stream_protocol::iostream 
mgmtStream("/tmp/pipes/mgmtsock");
if (!mgmtStream) throw std::exception();
// Send cmd to mgmt
mgmtStream << cmd << std::flush;

I get a compilation error on the line creating mgmtStream.  The 
interesting part is this:
no type named 'resolver_query' in 'class 
boost::asio::local::stream_protocol'

I tried breaking the creation into two steps (create 
local::stream_protocol::endpoint with the name of the socket then 
passing the endpoint into the iostream constructor), but the result was 
about the same (the failure occurred on the line creating the iostream, 
not the line creating the endpoint).

The problem seems to be that basic_socket_streambuf<stream_protocol> 
requires the definition of type resolver_query (within stream_protocol 
in this case).  It seems that ip::tcp::iostream declares it to be of 
type ip::basic_resolver_query<tcp>; I saw no obvious equivalent in the 
local namespace, and my attempt to add 'typedef 
ip::basic_resolver_query<stream_protocol> resolver_query;' to 
stream_protocol of course did nothing helpful (just added a lot more 
compilation errors).  Frankly, I'm not sure how 
stream_protocol::iostream could possibly compile without this definition 
somewhere...

Any ideas?

Below is the full output from g++ (in case there's something helpful):
