This isn't really a Boost.Python problem.  It looks like you may be  
compiling against one version of the Python library headers but  
linking against another one, but that's just a wild guess.  I suggest  
you check in with the regular Python mailing list if you are still  
stumped.  Not that I mind you asking here, but I don't think there's  
much I can do to help
