It looks like you have Boost headers and libraries of different versions.
Try to recompile the boost_filesystem library.

Simplest way to run tests is to:

cd boost_checkout_location
./bootstrap.sh # on Windows use bootstrap.bat
cd libs
git clone https://github.com/apolukhin/Boost.DLL dll
cd dll/test
../../../b2 -a # here `-a` will force the rebuild of dependent libraries,
including boost_filesystem
