nvcc 7.5 unable to compile boost/numeric/odeint example

[Olaf Pichler <boost.olaf@…>]

I'm trying to compile the boost example ​lorenz_parameters.cu referenced by the boost tutorial.

Changes I made to reduce the number of errors:

$ diff lorenz_parameters.cu.orig lorenz_parameters.cu
32c32,34
< typedef double value_type;
---
> //typedef double value_type;
> typedef float value_type;
> 
35,38c37,40
< typedef thrust::device_vector< value_type > state_type;
< typedef thrust::device_vector< size_t > index_vector_type;
< // typedef thrust::host_vector< value_type > state_type;
< // typedef thrust::host_vector< size_t > index_vector_type;
---
> //typedef thrust::device_vector< value_type > state_type;
> //typedef thrust::device_vector< size_t > index_vector_type; 
> typedef thrust::host_vector< value_type > state_type;
> typedef thrust::host_vector< size_t > index_vector_type;

compiler output: (same for gcc-4.9 and gcc-5)
