boost gil library examples fail to compile

The GIL sub-library of LibBoost comes with several examples. I'm trying to compile the dynamic_image.cpp example in a working directory using:

g++ dynamic_image.cpp

However it fails, as does any attempt to compile any code using the GIL library to attempt to read images from files.

A dump of g++'s output is attached.
