A co-worker of mine who usually programs in C# ran across this bug in
the filesystem Two Minute Tutorial located here:

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_38_0/libs/filesystem/doc/index.htm#tutorial

#include "boost/filesystem.hpp"   // includes all needed
Boost.Filesystem declarations
#include <iostream>               // for std::cout
using boost::filesystem;          // for ease of tutorial presentation;
                                  //  a namespace alias is preferred
practice in real code

Should be:

#include "boost/filesystem.hpp"   // includes all needed
Boost.Filesystem declarations
#include <iostream>               // for std::cout
using namespace boost::filesystem;          // for ease of tutorial
presentation;
                                  //  a namespace alias is preferred
practice in real code

Note the using statement.
