Hi,

I use to compile with gcc under ubuntu and I don't get any error. Could 
you post the command line?

I have found just these cases on trunk

Release 1.49 should have less cases. Have you identified other cases?

I don't know if -I. could help.

I could change all the relative includes, but you could have it only for 
boost 1.50 (or the trunk). If this is ok for you, could please open a 
ticket?

Best,
Vicente

P.S. Is Boost.Thread the only Boost library using this construction?
