[boost] BOOST Python - problem compiling under VC6

I'm trying to compile the BOOST Python library under VC6, but I'm 
getting the following:

Compiling...
builtin_converters.cpp
../../../../boost/python/converter/builtin_converters.hpp(106) : error 
C2146: syntax error : missing ',' before identifier 'LONG_LONG'
../../../../boost/python/converter/builtin_converters.hpp(106) : error 
C2065: 'LONG_LONG' : undeclared identifier
../../../../boost/python/converter/builtin_converters.hpp(106) : error 
C2059: syntax error : '>'
../../../../boost/python/converter/builtin_converters.hpp(106) : error 
C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '{'
../../../../boost/python/converter/builtin_converters.hpp(106) : error 
C2146: syntax error : missing ',' before identifier 'LONG_LONG'

etc etc.

I've heard people say that VC6 is buggy and doesn't work with BOOST. Is 
this true?

I tried a number of things I found through Google to try to fix this, 
but nothing works. Is there a solution for this that I haven't found?

Thanks
Mike
