[SOLVED] How can I avoid the boost::compute::zip_iterator and boost::iterators::zip_iterator confict when using boost compute and boost::range together?

I'd like to use boost::compute and boost::range together, like below, but if I uncomment the #include <boost/range/combine.hpp> line I get an error saying that boost::compute::zip_iterator and boost::iterators::zip_iterator are ambiguous. Is there a way around this, so that I can use boost::compute and boost::range together in the same cpp file? I am using on Windows vs2015 64bit. Boost 1.67.0.

Update: I've found the same error occurs if I try to include boost/iterator/zip_iterator.hpp instead of boost/range/combine.hpp, so it is not specific to the Boost Range library.

Code:

#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
//#include <boost/range/combine.hpp>
#include <boost/compute/lambda.hpp>
#include <boost/compute/functional/math.hpp>
#include <boost/compute/container/vector.hpp>
#include <boost/compute/algorithm/transform.hpp>

namespace compute = boost::compute;
using compute::float4_;
using compute::lambda::_1;
using compute::lambda::_2;
using compute::lambda::distance;

int main()
{
    // get default device and setup context
    compute::device device = compute::system::default_device();
    compute::context context(device);
    compute::command_queue queue(context, device);

    // generate random data on the host
    std::vector<float4_> a(10000);
    std::vector<float4_> b(10000);
    std::vector<float> r(10000);
    std::generate((float*)a.data(), (float*)(a.data() + a.size()), rand);
    std::generate((float*)b.data(), (float*)(b.data() + b.size()), rand);

    // create a vector on the device
    compute::vector<float4_> _a(a.size(), context);
    compute::vector<float4_> _b(b.size(), context);
    compute::vector<float> _r(r.size(), context);

    // transfer data from the host to the device
    compute::copy(a.begin(), a.end(), _a.begin(), queue);
    compute::copy(b.begin(), b.end(), _b.begin(), queue);

    boost::compute::transform(
        _a.begin(), _a.end(),
        _b.begin(),
        _r.begin(),
        distance(_1, _2),
        queue
    );

    // copy values back to the host
    compute::copy(_r.begin(), _r.end(), r.begin(), queue);

    for (int i = 0; i < a.size(); ++i)
    {
        float4_ va = a[i];
        float4_ vb = b[i];
        float vr = r[i];
        float e = std::sqrt(std::pow(va[0] - vb[0], 2) +
            std::pow(va[1] - vb[1], 2) +
            std::pow(va[2] - vb[2], 2) +
            std::pow(va[3] - vb[3], 2));

        std::cout << std::setprecision(12);

        if (std::abs(e - vr) > 1e-2)
            std::cout << e << " != " << vr << "\n";
    }

    return 0;
}
