Compile error with Ubuntu 8.10

Tried to compile the latest version according to the 8.04 installation manual, but it failed with this error message:

I think this is a major issue that is reported by more and more people. http://pgrouting.postlbs.org/discussion/21/208/768

Seems like it happens with newer versions of Boost?

Please hurry up with this, this really is a show stopper.

Sorry, I forgot to add some information to this ticket, but it seems to be an issue with libboost as reported in the forum: http://pgrouting.postlbs.org/discussion/21/208/796#796

This affects the latest Ubuntu (8.10) as well, but there is not much pgRouting can do about. It seems that this issue has been solved in later Debian packages, but I'm not aware changes already made it into official packages.

If you like, you could try already the coming version of Ubuntu 9.04 and report here it is solved there or not. Otherwise you could just take 8.04.

Any other solution welcome.

I ran into this same problem on Debian lenny. You can fix this if you edit

"/usr/include/boost/pending/relaxed_heap.hpp"

#ifndef BOOST_RELAXED_HEAP_HEADER
#define BOOST_RELAXED_HEAP_HEADER

#include <climits>  // added this for CHAR_BIT
#include <functional>
#include <boost/property_map.hpp>

I also ran into other boost problems trying to get tsp and driving distance optional packages to build and install and gave up on them.
