thank you
I had a simpler solution, remove the #include boost/bind.hpp
it was some old stuff that hadn't panned out, but the #include never got removed.
this causes a small amount of grief trying to find it, since I couldn't remember it being used at all... and it wasn't, but the #include was still in one of the header files.

Boost.lambda places _1 in the boost::lambda namespace.
Boost.bind places _1 in the global namespace.  This is fine
so long as you avoid using directives and are careful with
using declarations.

As soon as you have a using directive for the boost::lambda
namespace, boost::lambda::_1 will be injected into the
global namespace -- even if the using directive is at block
scope -- and any use of _1 will be ambiguous.

If you have translation units that use both Boost.bind and
Boost.lambda, the safest advice is (i) avoid all using
directives for namespace boost::lambda; (ii) put using
declarations at block scope.  For example,

  int main()
  {
    boost::function< int (int, int) > times;
    {
      using boost::lambda::_1;
      using boost::lambda::_2;
      times = _1 * _2;
    }

    boost::function< int (int) > square
      ( boost::bind( times, _1, _1 ) );

    std::cout << times(10,20) << std::endl;
    std::cout << square(9) << std::endl;
  }
