Comment (by theivorytower@…):

 Thanks for the reply. I'm using Arch Linux.

 When I get to bessel_ik.hpp:78 return prefix * result, the variables are
 prefix = inf and result = 1.000040833788070502945698192487356.

 When I step in a little further, I find the reason prefix was evaluated to
 be infinite was because pow(x / 2, v) was evaluated to be infinite! So
 this is must be a bug with libstdc++. Sorry this is not a bug with boost.
 FYI with my libstdc++ I find std::pow(x, y) ALWAYS returns infinite
 whenever y is long double. I will dig further into libstdc++...
