py_cpp_20001102 Alpha woes

When trying to compile the latest py_cpp release (py_cpp_20001102.zip)
on the Alpha I get the error message which is attached below. I tried
using both boost 1.18.1 and the latest boost snapshot from the 
sourceforge CVS tree. The error messages appear to be the same in 
both cases.
Compilation and tests worked well with the previous py_cpp release.
What could be wrong?
Thanks!
