[Boost-users] MSVC ++ and Boost libraries

Is it possible to use the pre-built binaries with MSVC++ 2005 express
edition?
I get the following error from bjam when attempting to build the pyd from
the
source file hello.cpp.

-----------------------------------------------------

hello.cpp has the following code trying to
wrap a class

BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(hello_ext)
{
    class_<GreetBase>("GreetBase")      # line 50
      .def("greet", &GreetBase::greet)
    ;
}

--------------------------------------------

hello.cpp(50) : error C2976: 'boost::python::class_' : too few template
arguments

C:\Program Files\boost\boost_1_35_0\boost/python/def_visitor.hpp(14) :
see declaration of 'boost::python::class_'

hello.cpp(50) : error C2440: '<function-style-cast>' :
cannot convert from 'const char [10]' to 'boost::python::class_'

Source or target has incomplete type
hello.cpp(50) : error C2228: left of '.def' must have class/struct/union

------------------------------------------------
Do I need to rebuild the boost libraries? Would this be expected to fix the
problem?
