+ Long double support has been disabled with these compiler releases

+ 55 of boost/math/tools/config.hpp.

+
+
+
+<pre class="programlisting">
+bjam mytoolset
+</pre>
+
+ 
+
+ where "mytoolset" is the name of the Boost.Build
+ toolset used for your compiler. The chances are that many
+ of the accuracy tests will fail at this stage - don't panic
+ - the default acceptable error tolerances are quite tight, especially for
+ long double types with an extended exponent range (these cause more extreme
+ test cases to be executed for some functions). You will need to cast an
+ eye over the output from the failing tests and make a judgement as to whether
+ the error rates are acceptable or not.
