I also get those same errors when using 1.42 binaries from boostpro. I don't get them using 1.38 boostpro bins. All on vstudio2005.

Sorry, it's probably too late to fix this for 1.43. I think that the problem is that you're constructing with a char* which is a closer match for the templated constructor (which is intended to be used with a Boost.Filesystem path) than for the const char* constructor. So as a temporary workaround you could try casting to const char* when constructing the path. I'll try to come up with a proper fix in trunk soon.

(In [61497]) Only support the templated constructor for types with an 'external_string_type' member. Refs #4135.

Using SFINAE, I might add a workaround for compilers that don't support it, although I'm not sure if there are any that Iostreams supports.
