As a general procedure when first using a library, try to repeat the 
results of the regression tests from the appropriate status page.  See 
http://www.boost.org/status/compiler_status.html

If you can't duplicate the results, that's a strong indication you don't 
have the compiler set up correctly for the library in question.

Hope that helps,
