[C++-sig] help with boost error

[Siddharth Ram]

I get the following error(s) when building  ACE header files (public 
domain software)

Here's the error: I am trying to understand the reason for the static 
assertion failure. removing either/boost of the class_ from the input 
file still results in the error. If I remove both class_ the error goes away
