Hand-crafted <limits> - Header

Hallo everyone,

I am trying to get the boost libraries to work
on my Linux-machine. I wanted to compile the
random_demo.cpp file, but just got the following
messages:

gcc -v -idirafter boost_1_19_0 random_demo.cpp

Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.95.2/specs

directory  

On the Compiler Status table for Linux/x86 there is a short comment
that "A hand-crafted <limits> Standard header has been applied to 
all configurations."  ---

What shall I do ?

Thanks for help
