The problem seems to be more to do with gcc-2.95.2 than Solaris (although I had to fix the problem refered to by Albert Chin). Boost wants to include std::this and std::that which do not exist. I got around a few but eventually gave up. A quick perusal of boost home page shows lots of fails for gcc 2.95.2. Boost in lyx-1.2.3 did not complain but used a much smaller amount of boost. Unless someone knows otherwise (knows how to instruct boost to get around the missing header files in std) I would conclude that boost is preventing lyx from being built with gcc 2.95.2.
