[Boost-users] boost::filesystem::path construct from iterator

Hi

I am getting surprising build errors when attempting to create a path from 
iterators. For example:

     boost::filesystem::path path("a/b/c");
     boost::filesystem::path tail(path.begin(),path.end());

fails to build on the tail constructor.
The actual error is about three screenfuls so I will omit this here for now.

My intention is to do something a bit more interesting, e.g. path.begin()+1 
to skip the leading path component.

Thanks,

Frank
