[Boost-users] Boost error on Red Hat Linux 7.4

I'm trying to build the latest (1.31.0) Boost libraries for the first
time on a Red Hat Linux 7.4, gcc 2.96 system. It seems to build all
the libs and such correctly, but I get the following error trying to
build the test programs:

gcc-C++-action bin/boost/libs/test/build/libboost_test_exec_monitor.so/gcc/debug/shared-linkable-true/test_tools.o
/home/jdarnold/boost_1_31_0/libs/test/build/../src/test_tools.cpp: In method `void

What is going wrong here? Is my version of F++ too old?

Thanks in advance.
