Greeting

I need help with building Boost.

I am trying to build boost 1_49_0 on an HPC system (SGI Ice X - 1.5
PFLOPS) and I am having errors. I am using gcc compiler
(gcc-compilers/4.7.3) and mpi (SGI MPT mpt/2.11). These are my build
commands:

./bootstrap.sh
--with-libraries=chrono,date_time,exception,filesystem,graph,graph_parallel,iostreams,locale,math,mpi,program_options,python,random,regex,serialization,signals,system,test,thread,timer,wave 

  --with-icu
--with-icu=/work1/home/naboulsk/SINSTAL/DLPackage/Gicu/build/lib
--with-python=python
--with-python-root=/app/wpostool/COST/python-2.6.8
--prefix=/work1/home/naboulsk/SINSTAL/DLPackage/INTEL_boost_1_49_0
--exec-prefix=/work1/home/naboulsk/SINSTAL/DLPackage/INTEL_boost_1_49_0
  --libdir=/work1/home/naboulsk/SINSTAL/BuildProjGNU/bosst_1.49/lib
--includedir=/work1/home/naboulsk/SINSTAL/BuildProjGNU/bosst_1.49/include

./b2 install --with-mpi --user-config=user-config.jam --debug-configuration

with the following  user-config.jam:
using gcc : /app/gmpapp/gcc/platform/gcc-4.7.3/bin/g++ ;
using mpi : /opt/sgi/mpt/mpt-2.11/bin/mpicxx ;

I am getting the following error:
