that's great! Adam, i tried all the solutions you mentioned above, the my_linear_tag method failed to compile the insert method, compiler complains:D:\boost\boost_1_54_0\boost/geometry/index/rtree.hpp(1048): error C2664: ¡°boost::geometry::index::detail::rtree::visitors::insert<Element,Value,Options,Translator,Box,Allocators,InsertTag>::insert(boost::interprocess::offset_ptr<PointedType,DifferenceType,OffsetType,OffsetAlignment> &,size_t &,const Value &,const boost::geometry::index::linear<MaxElements,MinElements> &,const Translator &,Allocators &,size_t)¡±: cannot convert parameter 5  from ¡°params_t¡± to ¡°const boost::geometry::index::linear<MaxElements,MinElements> &¡±then i modified the boost/geometry/index/detail/rtree/options.hpp according to github, and it worked perfectly!thanks Adam.
