Hi Chris

As suggested by you in point 2) in ur previous response, I have followed
instructions given in "Getting Started Guide" to download the boost
libraries. However I was unsucessful to use the
installer(boost_1_33_1_setup.exe)provided by Boost Consulting website.
The link or mirror site doesn't seem to be working. 
 
Hence I had downloaded boost 1.33.1 version libraries from boost.org
(which links to sourceforge.net)
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7586

I have downloaded following items to separate folder

  boost_1_33_1.exe  Mirror  10181389 133353 i386 .exe (32-bit Windows) 
  boost_1_33_1.tar.bz2  Mirror  11507161 54803 Platform-Independent
Source .bz2 
  boost_1_33_1.tar.gz  Mirror  14358143 54367 Platform-Independent
Source .gz 
  boost_1_33_1.zip  Mirror  21579318 93695 Platform-Independent Source
.zip 

Then installed boost_1_33_1.exe, which helped me to create the boost
library 1.33.3 version folder in my system.
Since I see that boost libraries are installed I did not tried to use
other downloaded items i.e ( boost_1_33_1.tar.bz2, boost_1_33_1.tar.gz
and boost_1_33_1.zip).

Then I created a new project in MSVC 2005 where I copied the Example.cpp
program given in "Getting Started Guide" and I excecuted the
example.cpp.  I was successful in compiling the example.cpp and also
tested the example application by entering values in the into the
resulting window.

So, I believe that Iam successful in installing the boost libraries.

However when I compile my project files using these boost library. I had
to face with compilation errors.

FYI,  I followed following steps to compile my project CPP files.

1)  Created a New project and added all the necessary header files and
source files to the project 
2) In Configuration Properties > C/C++ > General > Additional Include
Directories, entered the path to the Boost root directory as
D:\boost_1_33_1.
3) In Configuration Properties > C/C++ > Precompiled Headers, changed
Use Precompiled Header (/Yu) to Not Using Precompiled Headers.3
4) From the Build menu, selected Build Solution

Please help me to know if these errors are due to
A) Improper installation of Boost libraries.
Or
B) Necessary Binary Library are not installed.
Or
C) Problem not in boost-library but in the Software I use ( FYI the
software I use here has been developed in different Compiler named Green
hills using boost-library 1.33.1 by Different Team and Iam evolving a
way to test these Software using VC2005).

NOTE: lib\  is found missing in the Boost library installation ver
1.33.1

Satia,

1) Don't put the Boost libraries and headers IN the INCLUDE dir of VC.
Install them to a separate location and then add the appropriate paths
to the INCLUDE/LIBRARY/SOURCE/etc locations within
Tools->Options->Projects->VC++ Directories.

2) You didn't say whether you downloaded the source code or the
pre-built binary installer.  While a large portion of Boost is in fact
header-only, there are several libraries that do require you to build
them.  If you downloaded the binaries then this has already been built
for you but if you pulled down the source then you need to check out the
"Getting Started Guide" included in the archive (zip/tar).

3) Try a small program scratch program that only brings in part of the
Boost functionality that you'll be working with to see if you are still
getting errors.

HTH,

-Chris
