The included file, an extract from stlsoft/meta.hpp, compiles fine.

Because there's no context given to the compilation error above, there's
precious little chance of making an informed guess as to the problem,
without spending a huge amount of time chopping down. I don't have that time
in the foreseeable future, so STLSoft's going to have to ship with DMC++ not
properly supported, or with a reduced set of verified components. :-(

Any chance that more context can be put into compiler error messages?

I can't debug an example that works fine!

The first thing I'd try is delete all the code that is lexically after the error happens. Next, compile with -e -l, and see if the error can be reproduced in the .lst file. That at least cuts it down to one file.
 Any chance that more context can be put into compiler error messages?
I'd look at who is calling has_value_type_function.

That's a bit tough when the compiler doesn't give any context. ;-(
