Hi, I'm new to linux and boost so if I am doing something stupid pardon me. I
am trying to incorporate boost testing into my project. The plan is to build
a bunch of test suites hierarchially. This is the first one I was making:

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// BEGIN
CODE ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// the test classes
#define EPSILON (1e-5)

// for BOOST testing
#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>
#include "allknn.h"                  // the class being tested
using boost::unit_test_framework::test_suite;
using boost::unit_test_framework::test_case;
class TestAllkNN {               // wrapper for the test cases
 public:
/* CLASS STUFF */
  void TestDualTreeVsNaive1() { /*  STUFF */ }
   void TestDualTreeVsNaive2() { /*  stuff  */  }

  void TestSingleTreeVsNaive() {  /* function */ }
 private:   // more stuff
};

class TestSuiteAllkNN : public test_suite
{
   public:
   TestSuiteAllkNN() : test_suite("AllkNN Test Suite.")
   {
      // create an instance of the test cases class
      boost::shared_ptr<TestAllkNN> instance(new TestAllkNN());

      // create the test cases
      test_case* TestDualTreeVsNaive1 = BOOST_CLASS_TEST_CASE(
                              &TestAllkNN::TestDualTreeVsNaive1, instance );
      test_case* TestDualTreeVsNaive2 = BOOST_CLASS_TEST_CASE(
                              &TestAllkNN::TestDualTreeVsNaive2, instance );
      test_case* TestSingleTreeVsNaive = BOOST_CLASS_TEST_CASE(
                              &TestAllkNN::TestSingleTreeVsNaive, instance
);

      // add the test cases to the test suite
      add(TestDualTreeVsNaive1);
      add(TestDualTreeVsNaive2);
      add(TestSingleTreeVsNaive);
   }

};

test_suite* init_unit_test_suite(int arv, char** argc)
{
   // create the top test suite
    std::auto_ptr<test_suite> top_test_suite(BOOST_TEST_SUITE("Master test
suite"));
    top_test_suite->add( new TestSuiteAllkNN() );
    return top_test_suite.release();
}
////////////////////////////////////////////////////// END CODE
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Now when I compile (we have our own build system) I get the following error

... Making
bin/x86_64_Linux_check_gcc_.._.._lib_libboost_unit_test_framework-gcc43-mt-1_38.so.1.38.0/obj/mlpack_allknn_allknn_test.o
/usr/include/boost/test/unit_test_suite_impl.hpp: In destructor

boost::unit_test::test_suite::~test_suite()’ is protected
/usr/include/c++/4.3/backward/auto_ptr.h:173: error: within this context

My build command looks like this:
../../script/fl-build
--cflags="../../lib/libboost_unit_test_framework-gcc43-mt-1_38.so.1.38.0"
allknn_test

The take home point from the command is that I am linking to the dynamic
library I have generated for boost.test.

I don't understand this. How do I run my test cases?? Upto the part where
init_unit_test_suite starts compiles just fine. I'm trying to find a way to
run the test. I tried this:

 
    test_suite* test = BOOST_TEST_SUITE( "" );

    test->add( TestSuiteAllkNN() );

    unit_test::framework::run( test );

But that can't seem to recognize framework or something. I've officially
gone nuts by now.
