What compiler options are you building your application with?  It looks like 
Boost was built against the DLL C++ runtime library, but that your 
application is built against the static C++ runtime?  Note that just because 
you used the static Boost library versions, there are still 6 C++ runtime 
variants of these possible.

HTH, John.
