Have a close look at the names. Could it be this? Different libs?

Additionally have a look at the getting started page
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#library-naming

lib
     Prefix: except on Microsoft Windows, every Boost library name 
begins with this string. On Windows, only ordinary static libraries use 
the lib prefix; import libraries and DLLs do not.
