It's not supposed to be in the anonymous namespace, except as a 
workaround for std not having one.  So it sounds more likely that you 
ran into a conflict, where two conflicting versions of distance() were 
available.  I think the appropriate way to fix the problem is to make 
the headers note that this particular compiler has std::distance().

To verify, does the problem go away when you #define PQXX_HAVE_DISTANCE?
