What is this supposed to mean?
It's not constructive and if it's a joke, it's a very poor one.

If you truly are ignorant, Boost.Filesystem uses the binary '/' operator
to mean path concatenation.

As for the error, it may be due to converting the string literal into a
fs::path object via an unexpected locale's codecvt or too early in the
run-time to use a codecvt safely.

Also, double-check that you're using matching headers to your built
libraries, and that the libraries are built using the right compile-time
settings. In particular, -std=c++0x tends to be a common mismatch.
