I am rookie as far as BOOST.TEST is concerned - I am trying to compile and
link a simple BOOST.TEST program using VS 2005 (SEE EMAIL BELOW FOR STEPS).
When I try and this simple plagiarized test program listed below, I get a
bunch of LINKER errors -

Error	1	error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl
boost::test_tools::tt_detail::check_impl(class
boost::test_tools::predicate_result const &,class
boost::basic_wrap_stringstream<char> &,class

boost::test_tools::tt_detail::tool_level,enum

NewTest.obj	

Etc etc ... May be I am missing something trivial that is causing this
problem.

Appreciate any help rendered....

I have downloaded and built the BOOST libraries using VS2005 - I have
pointed the VC++ directories INCLUDE files to the BOOST install directory
and the Library files to the folder where the BOOST libraries were built to.
But when I try even the simplest of test programs from one of the examples
you had written - see below 

#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>
using boost::unit_test_framework::test_suite;

// most frequently you implement test cases as a free functions
void free_test_function()
{
    // reports 'error in "free_test_function": test 2 == 1 failed'
    BOOST_CHECK(2 == 1); // non-critical test => continue after failure
}

test_suite* init_unit_test_suite( int, char**) {
    test_suite* test= BOOST_TEST_SUITE( "Unit test example 1" );

    // this example will pass cause we know ahead of time number of expected
failures
    test->add( BOOST_TEST_CASE( &free_test_function ), 1 /* expected one
error */ );

    return test;
}

I receive LINK errors - any suggestions ?

I recommend you to use the latest version. Try 1.34 RC.

Use BOOST_PARAM_TEST_CASE. It works differently in latest version then 
before. You will have less problems with parametrs object lifetime 
management.
Let me know if you have any problems.
