Looking at the CVS, it appears the reason for this is that config/compiler/gcc.hpp no longer defines BOOST_NO_STRINGSTREAM, even though it should, at least for 2.95.x and below, as is shown with the above errors.. The change was done about a year ago, though, so it appears lexical_cast hasn't been working on g++ 2.95.x for a long time. In other words, the problem isn't in lexical_cast but in the config files. Could this be fixed? Also, shouldn't this be done in the library config, not the compiler?
