Hi!

I'm trying to compile the following function on Boost 1.34.1 (Ubuntu 8.04):

void decompress(string &gzipString, string & target)
{
    boost::iostreams::filtering_ostream decompressingStream;
    boost::iostreams::gzip_decompressor gzdc;
    decompressingStream.push(gzdc);
    decompressingStream.push(boost::iostreams::back_inserter(target));

    decompressingStream << gzipString;

    boost::iostreams::flush(decompressingStream);
}

And I'm getting the following (quite long) error:

A similar "compress" function seem to compile without any problems.

Any ideas what can cause this error?

Thanks,
