You need to describe:

the function call where the ambiguity occurs
the type of the argument (to the above function call)

The compiler version and the Boost version would be useful for us too.

That said, I guess that the error is caused by an unqualified call to next (i.e. without any some_namespace:: qualification before next). Explicitly qualifying the call would resolve the problem:

if you intend to call boost::next, then qualify the call with boost::;
if you intend to call std::next, then qualify the call with std::.

owner, component changed
