I'm trying to compile on a Solaris Sparc machine with Sun C++ 5.5
some C++ code that uses the boost string algorithms library.
I've tried versions 1.37, 1.38, 1.39, and 1.42.
With more recent versions, I get the following error:

../../boost/boost/cstdint.hpp", line 458: Error: #error defaults not correct;
you must hand modify boost/cstdint.hpp.

This seems like an error that I should be able to deal with,
but I'm not sure what to do. Could someone offer me some guidance?
