Re: [Boost-users] compiling error using Boost with VC++ 6

You don't need the newer compiler.
Try the following
1)  Open the VC6 ide. Toolbar  tools->options-> Select the 
directories tab and add the path C:\BOOST\BOOST_1_32_0 to 
your directory structure. (This will slow down your 
compile times because the compiler will have a large 
amount of directories to parse to find include file.

This assumes you have the 1_32_0 installed if you have a 
higher version adjust your directory accordingly

Best of Luck
