[Boost-users] [Math Toolkit] MSVC 7.1 issue

I just downloaded the latest version of the Math Toolkit,
and tried a simple example:

     #include <boost/math/distributions/students_t.hpp>
     boost::math::students_t_distribution<double>(5) dist;

When I compile these two lines of code with MSVC 7.1
I get the following error messages:

boost\math\special_functions\log1p.hpp(195) : error C2785: 
'tools::promote_args<T>::type boost::math::log1p(T)' and 'double 
boost::math::log1p(double)' have different return types
         boost\math\special_functions\math_fwd.hpp(246) : see 
declaration of 'boost::math::log1p'
         boost\math\special_functions\log1p.hpp(182) : see declaration 
of 'boost::math::log1p'
boost\math\special_functions\log1p.hpp(195) : error C2912: explicit 
specialization; 'double boost::math::log1p<double>(double)' is not a 
specialization of a function template
boost\math\special_functions\log1p.hpp(183) : fatal error C1903: unable 
to recover from previous error(s); stopping compilation
