Hi,

I want to write a function that operates on one-dimensional 
multi_array's and use it to modify the columns of a two-dimensional 
multi_array. I thought that this would be a straightforward application 
of slicing, i.e., views with dimensional reduction. However, my first 
attempt to do so does not compile. (Please see the attached source 
code.) When I try to pass a view to my function, I get:

error: invalid initialization of non-const reference of type 
boost::multi_array_ref<double, 1ul>& from a temporary of type 
boost::detail::multi_array::multi_array_view<double, 1ul>

I have now read the section on views and subarrays in the multi_array 
reference documentation several times, but I do not see how I can do 
what I want.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jim Amundson
