oHello all:
I'm kind of at a loss here. It looks like ther'es an issue with 
boost::bind somewhere in the mess of 500 templates and 90 screens of 
errors and I don't know enough about the mess to untangle it. Any info 
would be awesome. First, the code:

sgroup->AddEntry(new OlcStringEntry("name", "Sets the name of the 
object", OF_NORMAL,
boost::bind(&StaticObject::GetName, _1),
<159> boost::bind(&StaticObject::SetName, _1, _2)));

the 159 I denoted is useful in the errors later.
Now the rest of the code I'm using:

typedef boost::function<std::string ()> StringGetter;
typedef boost::function<void (const std::string&)> StringSetter;

class IOlcEntry
{
protected:
std::string _name;
std::string _help;
FLAG _flag;
public:
IOlcEntry(const std::string &name, const std::string &help, FLAG flag)
{
_flag = flag;
_name = name;
_help = help;
}
~IOlcEntry() {}
};

class OlcStringEntry:public IOlcEntry
{
protected:
StringGetter _getter;
StringSetter _setter;
public:
OlcStringEntry(const std::string &name, const std::string &help, FLAG 
flag, const StringGetter getter, const StringSetter setter)
:IOlcEntry(name, help, flag)
{
_setter = setter;
_getter = getter;
}
};

and here is the novel of errors:
