As Martin Wille pointed out, RHEL 7.2 and g++ 2.96 are many years 
out-of-date and have many problems with Boost and probably other modern 
C++ code.

VC++ 6 is also years out-of-date and *very* noncompliant as regards the 
C++ standard.

Both GCC and VC++ 8.0 (Express edition) are free for the download. Do 
yourself a favor and upgrade to modern compilers. Both are very 
standards compliant.
