[Boost-users] [geometry] Cannot compile boost::geometry::intersection

Subject: [Boost-users] [geometry] Cannot compile boost::geometry::intersection

I am using boost library version 1.54 with gcc --std=c++11.

I am trying a simple use of geometry::intersection as follows:

#include <boost/geometry.hpp>
#include <boost/geometry/geometries/point_xy.hpp>
#include <boost/geometry/geometries/polygon.hpp>
#include <boost/geometry/geometries/adapted/boost_polygon.hpp>

using namespace boost::geometry;
......
    typedef model::d2::point_xy<double> point_xy;
    model::polygon<point_xy> clipBounds;
    // add points to clipBounds
    model::polygon<point_xy> area;
    // add points to area
    model::polygon<point_xy> result;
    if(boost::geometry::intersection(area, clipBounds, result))
    {
        std::cout << std::endl << "Boost intersection, size = " <<
num_points(result) << std::endl;
    }

If I comment out the call to intersection, everything compiles. With it I
get:

     typedef typename f_::type type;

Since my code is virtually identical to the sample code in the
documentation, I am very puzzled by this.  What have I missed? How do I get
this to compile?

(I do find it odd that this error refers to boost/serialization rather than
boost/geometry, but I suppose that has to do with the order of inclusion).
