[Boost-users] Many error when building Boost libraries

I see many compilation problems here in the list, so I hope you will 
forgive me adding to the clutter.

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong or missing to get the following.

When building Boost 1.33.0, the date_time, program_options and wave 
libraries fail to build. I am after the program_options in particular.

My environment is intel_win32 running in the MSVC v6 IDE.
The output from the build runs to 176Kb, but of the very many errors, 
the typical ones are:

C:\Libraries\boost_1_33_0\libs\program_options\build\../src/options_description.cpp(378): 
error: too few arguments for class template "std::reverse_iterator"
find(reverse_iterator<string::const_iterator>(line_end - 1), 

C:\Libraries\boost_1_33_0\libs\program_options\build\../src/variables_map.cpp(81): 
error: no instance of overloaded function "std::set<_K, _Pr, _A>::insert 
[with _K=std::string, _Pr=std::less<std::string>, 
_A=std::allocator<std::string>]" matches the argument list
             argument types are: (std::set<std::string, 
std::less<std::string>, std::allocator<std::string>>::iterator, 
std::set<std::string, std::less<std::string>, 
std::allocator<std::string>>::iterator)
             object type is: std::set<std::string, 
std::less<std::string>, std::allocator<std::string>>
           xm.m_final.insert(new_final.begin(), new_final.end());
                      ^
These recur many times in the program_option builds, plus things like:

C:\Libraries\boost_1_33_0/boost/lexical_cast.hpp(156): error: no 
operator ">>" matches these operands
             operand types are: std::basic_stringstream<char, 
std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char>> >> 
boost::date_time::date_names_put<boost::gregorian::greg_facet_config, 
wchar_t, std::ostreambuf_iterator<wchar_t, 
std::char_traits<wchar_t>>>::string_type
                          stream >> output &&
                                 ^
  detected during:
             instantiation of "bool={bool}
