Hi,
when trying to compile boost.python using python 2.5.2 (amd64) and 
Visual Studio 9 the following linker errors occur. I found out that the 
symbols are really missing from the python25.lib while they are present 
in the 32bit version. So i think this can be a problem of python. When 
searching the web i found that this problem is known but no action are 
taken till now. The python 2.6 rc2 also has the same problem.

Here the errors (shortened):
