Hopelessly stuck with Boost.Python again

After having managed to build Boost.Python along with its
test projects, I'm now trying to use it in my project
(large app in PC/Win2k/MSVC6).

I thought it would be as simple as linking libboost_python_static.lib
(prebuilt using jam) to it and include the necessary headers.

Unfortunately not. I'm building libboost_python_static.lib using
BOOST_DEBUG_PYTHON, since I have a debug version of Python.

I get a number of unresolved externals during linking from
conversions.obj and types.obj (see below). What's missing here?

I don't get these errors if I leave out BOOST_DEBUG_PYTHON, but then
the non-debug Python links to msvcrt.dll and the rest of the program
to msvcrtd.dll which leads to a crash somewhere in Python.

BTW I tried also to include the bpl_static DevStudio project in my 
workspace, adjust all paths, and use its output lib instead of the
one build with jam -- same result.

So I have to ask again: Is anyone successfully using Boost.Python in
my environment? Maybe you can send me your .dsp file in case you made
one yourself. 

I would even happily use a somewhat older version of Boost.Python if
it would only run (right now I have the latest CVS)! This is the
third day I'm struggling with it now and apart from the fact that I'm
slowly despairing my bosses little by little start to put me under
pressure.
