If I create a file with nothing but the include: #include <boost/date_time/local_time/local_time.hpp> I get a compiler error (VC7 .NET 2003) having to do with line 149 of tz_db_base.hpp which reads: typedef time_zone_names<charT> time_zone_names; which doesn't seem to make much sense. from a brief inspection of the time_zone_names.hpp file, it seems that line 64 which reads: typedef time_zone_names_base<char> time_zone_names; may shed some light on the solution. Thanks, John

That was most likely a typo in the initial code. I've already submitted a fix for this. As it stands there are bugs in the local_time code. It tests successfully with gcc 3.3 but has problems with other compilers. Thanks for the report, Bart

I'll just note that the local_time code is currently 'alpha' code -- that is, we are still working on it and haven't officially documented it as part of date-time. So basically interfaces, etc, are subject to change. That said, feedback is welcome.

An several lines before there is this: typedef char charT; Not terribly elegant, but I believe left over from a time when the tz_db_base was templatized on charT. Noted that this should be cleaned up.

Feel free to change to char and see if it fixes the problem. I expect us to start serious porting work on this code in the next month or so, but as Bart pointed out most of it has already been tested against gcc 3.3 so for it does work on at least one platform/compiler. Jeff
