Consider upgrading g++. I can compile the library just fine with g++ 4.3.0 and with g++ <a href="http://3.4.6." target="_blank">3.4.6.</a> Alternatively, you could apply the attached patch, which removes the explicit template arguments. (The patched version is also in branch "no-explicit-template-args" of my repository.) Matt </blockquote></div> </div>
