I've run into a seemingly impenetrable compile error related to Boost, which I've reduced to including a single boost header file. In compiling (with GCC 4.2 on Mac OS X 10.6.8) an empty file containing only this include:
#include "boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time.hpp"
...generates these errors:

These Boost libraries are being used as "headers only" -- unbuilt.
Xcode is generating: /Developer/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 –x c++ (plus all the other options, paths, etc)
