Works for me.
Do you have a minimal test case that fails?
What version of Boost are you using?

#include <functional>
#include <boost/ptr_container/ptr_set.hpp>

struct Base {
virtual ~Base() = 0;
};

Base::~Base() {}

struct Derived : Base {};

struct BaseAddrLess : public std::binary_function<Base, Base, bool> {
result_type operator() (
const first_argument_type& lhs,
const second_argument_type& rhs) const {
return &lhs < &rhs;
}
};

int main() {
boost::ptr_set<Base, BaseAddrLess> bset;
bset.insert(new Derived());
}
