These errors indicate that you do not link with the prebuilt library and/or 
library is built with inconsistent flags. Also VS 2005 should be using 
auto-linking. You sure you are linking with correct library.

Please provide link command and make sure that library picked up by auto 
linking (you could define BOOST_LIB_DIAGNOSTIC for additional info)
