visual C++ 6.0 is inching toward 13 years old, there is not much
nowadays that supports it, and I know many Boost sublibraries do not
(although some still do), however, MPL I doubt is one that does due to
its heavy template usage and VS6's lack of proper template support
(although it 'might', anyone want to chime in?).  You might try going
back to an older Boost version, maybe 1.33 or so, when VC6 was still
somewhat used.

Personally, I would highly recommend at least downloading the free
Visual Studio 2010 (or 2008) Express version to get upgraded to
something more modern.
