Dear Boosters,
I have encountered problems when I tried to use current Boost Random
Number Library on SGI machine with MPIPpro Compiler 7.3.1.3m. One
error message is
cc-1522 CC: ERROR File = src/boost/boost/random/uniform_smallint.hpp, Line = 179
The symbol template parameter
"boost::detail::uniform_smallint<(bool)std::numeric_limits<URNG1::res
ult_type>::is_integer>::impl" cannot have a template argument list.
typedef typename detail::uniform_smallint<std::numeric_limits<typename
UniformRandomNumberGenerator::result_type>::is_integer>::impl<UniformRandomNumberGenerator,
IntType>::type impl_type;
This seems due to the lack of BOOST_NESTED_TEMPLATE macro in front of
impl. The header random/uniform_int.hpp also has this problem. Here
is a patch for fixing this problem:

Another problem is concerening boost_static_assert, e.g.
cc-3354 CC: ERROR File = src/boost.orig/boost/random/linear_feedback_shift.hpp, Line =
57
A non-integral operation is not allowed in a nontype template argument.
BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(!std::numeric_limits<UIntType>::is_signed);
^
cc-1070 CC: ERROR File = src/boost.orig/boost/random/linear_feedback_shift.hpp, Line =
57
The indicated type is incomplete.
BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(!std::numeric_limits<UIntType>::is_signed);
^
This problem looks the same as that in VC7. However, I found the
workaround for VC7 recently added to boost_static_assert.hpp does not
solve this problem for SGI MIPSpro. A possible workaround is as
follows:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
diff -crN boost.orig/boost/static_assert.hpp boost/boost/static_assert.hpp
