Dear Yade developers, I needed to update almost all files in Yade tree, removing "using namespace boost" all over *.hpp and *.cpp files. It is really annoying and time consuming task.
I met the problems, compiling Yade against Boost 1.55 and VTK 6.1 (both of libs are newest versions). So the only correct way to fix it was to remove "using namespace boost" to escape name conflicts. Please, never use "using namespace boost" especially in header-files any more, because it mixes namespaces, what leads to a very difficult situation of name conflicts. Let those boost`s methods/typedefs etc. be a little longer, but it prevents us from such problems. I will try also to remove `using namespace std` (we have 46 of them all over the code), but I need to find time for that. Please the first answer here [1].
