Seb,

As I recall, the Forte compiler requires an explicit -mt switch when 
you are building multithreaded code (that is if your compiler was 
installed as multithreaded to begin with by your sysadmin -- if not, 
you are out of luck, read supporting documentation).

First, try to build (with -mt switch) a simple multithreaded program 
using basic pthreads, e.g. one of the examples from 
<http://www.cs.wpi.edu/~cs502/f01cew/week4-threads/week4-threads.html>
If this works, than you have threading.

You didn't mention which Forte you are using; I believe only 6.X 
versions have enough template support and standard complience to 
compile Boost.

Good luck,
Dmitry
