I compiled it the following way:

bjam architecture=x86 address-model=32 link=static runtime-link=static
--prefix=../../usr --includedir=../../usr/include --libdir=../../usr/lib
install

I'm trying to use the static version

linking only to boost_unit_test_framework gives the same results:

hm, which would be...? this is my source code:

#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>

using namespace boost::unit_test;

test_suite *
init_unit_test_suite(int, char ** const) {
    test_suite *ts = BOOST_TEST_SUITE("test_suite");
    framework::master_test_suite().add(ts);

    return 0;
}

this seems to be one:

Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop 64-Bit (amd64) VMWare Virtual Machine

thanks for the help,
