Hello,

I am trying to port existing and working code from 1.54 to above and ever
since 1.55 there's a compile error on both gcc and VC9 here:

typedef boost::geometry::model::point<double, 3,
boost::geometry::cs::cartesian> Point;
typedef
boost::geometry::model::box<Point>
BoundingBox;
typedef
boost::geometry::model::segment<Point>
Segment;
typedef
boost::geometry::model::linestring<Point>
LineString;

// LineString raw is being filled
LineString ret;

    typedef boost::geometry::strategy::distance::projected_point<Point>
PointSegmentDistanceStrategy;
    typedef boost::geometry::strategy::simplify::douglas_peucker<Point,
PointSegmentDistanceStrategy> SimplificationStrategy;
    SimplificationStrategy strat;
    boost::geometry::simplify<LineString, double,
SimplificationStrategy>(raw, ret, 20, strat);

The error appears to be different in 1.57.

GCC says:

I didn't notice any change in interface that would explain this so I
suppose it could be a bug in geometry.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
