[Boost-users] [lexical_cast] Some code that was compiling in 1.50 stopped compiling in 1.53

Here's some code that has been compiling till at least 1.50, and starting
long before. I isolated the part that breaks to create a program.

Here it is: Just taking a std::vector of int and copying into strings.

#include <boost/lexical_cast.hpp>
#include <vector>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main (int, char **) {
  vector<int> values;
  vector<string> ret;
  std::transform(values.begin(), values.end(), ret.begin(),
boost::lexical_cast<std::string, int>);
}

And compiling on fedora 18, gcc 4.7 (Got same issues, I believe, with MSVC
10) I get the output at the bottom.
Anyone has an idea on what the problem could be?

Thanks,

a
