integrating boost with numerical recipes 3 code

i get a bunch of errors when i use both nr3.h and boost library.

I use ubuntu 10.04 with libboost1.40 and code from http://www.nr.com/ (3rd edition)

try.cc:

#include "nr3.h"
#include <boost/algorithm/string/predicate.hpp>

int main(void) {
  return 0;
}

i compile the code "g++ try.cc" and i get errors. if i comment out either the nr3.h line or the < boost ... > line, the code compiles fine.

here are the errors:

Update: i also posted it at nr.com forum (http://www.nr.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2148). and got a response that the problem is that nr3.h made a de开发者_JAVA百科fine macro for throw(). i'm still not sure what could be a robust solution.

A quick fix is to go into nr3.h and change the C++ keyword abusing macro "throw" to an inoffensive none C++ keyword such as "toss".
