I get a strange compiler error when trying to compile the "Hello
World" example of the coordinate_matrix representation from Boost's
uBLAS, as shown in the enclosed.  The first two examples (the
mapped_matrix and the compressed_matrix) compile for me but the third
and the fourth don't.  The error I get is

Error in compileCode(f, code, language = language, verbose = verbose) :

In addition: Warning message:

Do others get this error for other versions of boost or other compilers?
Can anyone decide what that error means?  I'm perplexed about how
"/usr" ended up in the error message unless it was the name of a file
that somehow got truncated.
