Boost BiMap Parse Template Error

Question

I am getting parse template error when I add #include<boost/bimap.hpp> I want to find the key of a map from its value and hence thought of using Boost's Bimap but getting below error.

/usr/include/boost/bimap/relation/structured_pair.hpp: In function ‘bool boost::bimaps::relation::operator<(const boost::bimaps::relation::structured_pair<FirstType, SecondType, Info, Layout1>&, const boost::bimaps::relation::structured_pair<FirstType, SecondType, Info, Layout2>&)’:

Please show the minimal code to reproduce. If it's **just** the include, name compiler and versions — sehe, Feb 09 '18 at 16:21
From what you've shown here I suspect a #define overrides the meaning of an identifier involved (e.g. like `first`) making the compiler think a template argument list is coming with the `<` — sehe, Feb 09 '18 at 16:22
Sorry.. I have not written any code yet. If i just include the header, i am getting the error. Compiler is - gcc 4.8.5 — spnsp, Feb 09 '18 at 17:09

Using GCC 4.8.5:

boost 1.64 https://wandbox.org/permlink/kg4tkbEIdHMv4mII
boost 1.60 https://wandbox.org/permlink/1lA2L194rNfZrFsd
boost 1.54 https://wandbox.org/permlink/7RUl49NAy0q9D2u3
boost 1.49 https://wandbox.org/permlink/kpILpo63riVQGVyP

So all in all it looks like you're doing something else wrong. What other includes are there? Check the preprocessed source if possible.
