Hi all,

I'm using boost with stlport 5.1.5 in msvc 7.1. when I try to use date
facets, the compiler complains there is not suitable std::locale ctor,
although I can see it in the code and all flags seem to be defined
correctly (_STLP_MEMBER_TEMPLATES is defined). I'm trying to compile the
following excerpt:

1	std::stringstream str(__DATE__); // for example "Sep 16 2008"
2
3	boost::gregorian::date_input_facet facet("%b %d %Y");
4	std::locale loc(str.getloc(),facet);
5	str.imbue(loc);
6
7	boost::gregorian::date d;
8	str >> d;

The error is in line 4 and the message is that the (templated) ctor does
not exist.

Thanks for your assistance,

Pedro
