Problem with boost-asio c++ library: no member named 'member_name'

I'm on boost version 1.72, the current version of boost on Arch. I have the following script:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    boost::asio::io_service ioService;

    boost::asio::ssl::context sslContext(boost::asio::ssl::context::sslv23);
    boost::asio::ssl::stream<boost::asio::ip::tcp::socket> sslSocket(ioService, sslContext);
    sslSocket.set_verify_mode(boost::asio::ssl::verify_none);
    boost::asio::ip::tcp::socket::lowest_layer_type &socket = sslSocket.lowest_layer();

    // Resolve endpoint and connect successfully...

    std::stringstream ss;
    ss << "$ LOGIN " << username << " " << password;
    const char *req = ss.str().c_str();
    char data[500];
    strcpy(data, req);
    boost::asio::write(socket, boost::asio::buffer(data, sizeof(data)));

    char buffer[1000];
    boost::asio::read(socket, boost::asio::buffer(buffer));
    std::string response = std::string(buffer);
    std::cout << "Received response: " << response << std::endl;

    return 0;
}

Now, when I compile this, I get the below errors:

/usr/bin/clang++   -I/ -pthread   -std=gnu++17 -MD -MT CMakeFiles/app.dir/main.cpp.o -MF CMakeFiles/app.dir/main.cpp.o.d -o CMakeFiles/app.dir/main.cpp.o -c /src/main.cpp

Seems to be some issue with the boost library itself? Anyone has any idea? Thanks.
