Ok I see thanks...

The answer is following.

GCC implicitly included libintl that defines gettext(char const *)...
So even when you call using loc::gettext it still prefers the ::gettext.

This is unfortunate...


Solutions for you:


1. Always use prefix:
   loc::gettext("foo")

2. Use using loc::gettext withing the body of the function you use (i.e. in this case withing main)
3. Use translate - it has little bit different semantics but in general its result automatically casts to std::string

   std::cout << translate("foo") << std::endl;

4. Use 


   #define _(x) boost::locale::gettext(x)

   This is BTW the most popular solution all over the community of gettext users.

5. Ugly hack #define gettext(x) boost::locale::gettext(x)

I'll update the documentation.
