Compiling with dynamic_reconfigure server code leads to deadlock

I have a package into which I want to include dynamic_reconfigure code.

EDIT: I am running Fuerte on Ubuntu 12.04

The following .cfg is compiled into PACKAGENAMEParamsConfig.h without a problem.

#! /usr/bin/env python

PACKAGE='PACKAGENAME'
import roslib; roslib.load_manifest(PACKAGE)

from dynamic_reconfigure.parameter_generator import *
gen = ParameterGenerator()

gen.add("dummy", bool_t, 0, "", True)

exit(gen.generate(PACKAGE, "Config", "PACKAGENAMEParams"))

In my source code, after including

#include <dynamic_reconfigure/server.h>
#include "PACKAGENAME/PACKAGENAMEParamsConfig.h"

(and extending the cmake file(s)) I call ros::init and setup a dynamic_reconfigure::Server object:

dynamic_reconfigure::Server<PACKAGENAME::PACKAGENAMEParamsConfig> dynamic_reconfigure_server;

When run, the program locks itself in this last line. GDB reports:

Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.

    at /XXXXX/PACKAGENAME/src/main.cpp:448    [<--- 448 is where the ::Server is created]

If the server constructor line is commented out, everything works. However, if my code contains a NodeHandle constructor before that, e.g.

ros::NodeHandle nh_;
dynamic_reconfigure::Server<PACKAGENAME::PACKAGENAMEParamsConfig> dynamic_reconfigure_server;

then the lock happens in the first NodeHandle constructor.

The same problem annoys me for 3 hours now... Hopefully someone can reply to this. I am using ROS Hydro btw...

Unless you can provide a way for use to reproduce we can't help much.

It was a bad idea in first place to build against Boost 1.52 with ROS-Hydro using 1.46

Fixed this thing a few months ago. ROS Hydro is built against Boost 1.46, back then we built our projects against Boost 1.52 to be able to use C++11. This caused some trouble with some ROS services (some boost-signals related stuff). Solution: ROS Indigo, new Boost, C++11 -> Working!
