uniform_smallint doesn't compile with lagged_fibonacci random number generators

Reported by: Tom Stepleton (last name at ri.cmu.edu) Owned by: No-Maintainer
Milestone: To Be Determined Component: random
Version: Boost 1.34.1 Severity: Problem
Keywords: random uniform_smallint lagged fibonacci lagged_fibonacci compilation error Cc:

Description

Code like this: 

boost::lagged_fibonacci607 rng;
  ...
boost::uniform_smallint<int> myrand(1,10);
int a = myrand(rng);

yields errors like these: 

/local/include/boost/random/uniform_smallint.hpp:195: error: invalid operands of types 'double' and 'double' to binary 'operator%'
/local/include/boost/random/uniform_smallint.hpp:204: error: invalid operands of types 'double' and 'double' to binary 'operator%'

gcc version 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5367)

uniform_smallint requires the generator to return an integral type. lagged_fibonacci607 returns doubles. Use variate_generator.
