I tried to build Boost 1.33.1 and the example program with gcc 4.1.2
in kubuntu 6.10.

It worked! :-)

Well, I got some warnings and the final "Not all Boost libraries built
properly."

When I make again, I get:

-sPYTHON_VERSION=2.4 -sTOOLS=gcc
Building Boost.Regex with the optional Unicode/ICU support disabled.
Please refer to the Boost.Regex documentation for more information
(and if you don't know what ICU is then you probably don't need it).

I have no idea what this is all about, but I got to compile, link and
run the example so... :-)

I had a little problem with the libraries: I installed them in
/usr/local/lib (deafult location, isn't it?), but the system didn't
find them at runtime. I had to append /usr/local/lib to
/etc/ld.so.conf, and then run ldconfig. I decided to do so after
reading:
