Multimap Error in Solaris C++ V5.0

Question

I am experiencing an error with multimap on the CC version 5.0 compiler.
The worrying thing is that this error does not occur on gcc
$ gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/2.95.3/specs
gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)
$ gcc -g -I -fPIC -DOS_SOLARIS -D_REENTRANT -D__OMNIORB4__ -DUsePthread -D__sparc -D__sunos__ -D__OSVERSION__=5 -Dsolaris2 -c err.cpp
$ rm err.o

"err.cpp", line 10: Error: Could not find a match for std::multimap<int, int, std::less<int>, std::allocator<std::pair<const int, int>>>::insert(std::pair<int, int>).
1 Error(s) detected.
$ CC -V
CC: WorkShop Compilers 5.0 98/12/15 C++ 5.0
The program consists of little more than 2 lines in a main (and I have even removed strings to create the simplemap possible).
1 #include <map>
2 #include <string>
3
4
5 using namespace std;
6
7 int main( int argc, char ** argv)
8 {
9 multimap<int, int> myIntMMap ;
10 myIntMMap.insert( (std::pair<int, int>) make_pair( (int)1, (int)2)) ;
11 }
Elsewhere in the forum, I have seen people applying const to multimap or pair parameters to get a solution (workaround), but I have tried most combinations without success. Can anyone help?

No, do NOT do that.
If you attempt to modify any of the library configuration macros, you wind up with declarations in the headers that do not match what is in the library.
In addition, the otherwise dead code enabled in the headers has never been compiled or tested by Sun. If you run into problems, you are on your own.
If you need a more standard-conforming library, you can use STLport that also comes with the compiler. Add the option
-library=stlport4
to every CC command line, compiling and linking.
As noted in the documentation, the default libCstd and STLport are mutually exclusive. You cannot use both in the same program.
