Ah, I didn't know that you were using --with-system-boost and that version being 1.54. This is an interesting detail that I hadn't seen in your earlier mails. It could explain most of the trouble you are experiencing. Do things work better with the internal version? > Is it OK to use this newer version because I'm getting errors [...] The 1.54 boost version you are using is much newer than the AOO internal version, which is version still at 1.48. We should upgrade our codebase to work with the newer version and update the internal boost then. This could solve many compile warnings that are spewed out for 1.48 and fix some hard problems like the one with the Solaris compilers. But as you saw such support for newer boost versions is more than just a recompile. Making AOO build with newer boost versions may be an interesting topic for a volunteer. One could leverage the experience of the very popular boost library to dive into many corners of the AOO codebase.
