Hi,
I'm trying to use the Boost MPI library in a virtual Opensolaris
environment
(specifically the Sun HPC Software, Developer Edition 1.0 for OpenSolaris).
System compiler is the sun studio 12u1 compiler. 
MPI is provided by the Sun HPC ClusterTools which essentially means Open
MPI.

Trying to build results in following error messages:

I would be nice if someone helped me resolving this issue.

A second problem was the missinterpretation of  ">>" in a template
argument by the sun compiler.
I resolved that by changing the file
"boost/archive/detail/register_archive.hpp". (I probably overcompensated
with white spaces)
