Hi everybody,

I am trying to use the Boost filesystem library and ran into a strange 
problem. When I include the library in a project (automake or standard 
Makefile) I can link everything and the resulting program runs fine. I 
get errors like this for even including the <boost/filesystem.hpp> file 
in a second source or header file:

[my path]/boost/exception/exception.hpp:179: error: expected identifier 
before numeric constant
[my path]/boost_1_46_1/boost/exception/exception.hpp:179: error: 
expected `>' before numeric constant
[my path]/boost_1_46_1/boost/exception/exception.hpp:180: error: 
expected unqualified-id before numeric constant
[my path]/boost_1_46_1/boost/exception/exception.hpp:182: error: 
expected identifier before numeric constant
[my path]/boost_1_46_1/boost/exception/exception.hpp:182: error: 
expected `>' before numeric constant
[my path]/boost_1_46_1/boost/exception/exception.hpp:183: error: 
expected unqualified-id before numeric constant
[my path]/boost_1_46_1/boost/exception/exception.hpp:185: error: 
expected identifier before numeric constant

I could not find any examples of linking multiple files in a project 
with the library, does such exist? Is there something special to include 
the headers in this situation? If I comment out the #include and any 
references to the boost::filesystem functions in the second source file 
the program will compile correctly.

Thanks,
Ford Sleeman
