Errors like this usually arise either because:

1) You haven't defined __STL_DEBUG when building a debug build (the prebuilt 
lib's do this so you have to in order to link to them).  However if this is 
the case you should have got a #error from the autolinking code telling you 
of the problem.
2) You're build of Boost did not in fact get built against STLport.  Try 
taking a peek at the symbols defined in the libraries to see if they're 
using _STL or _STLD names (from STLport) or std:: names (from VC++).  Also 
try building with bjam and the -d2 option so you can see the command lines 
generated and verify that all the paths are in fact correct.
