>Good Afternoon,
>Please verify if Boost Library is compatible with HPUX 11.x or AIX?

Please note there is not a single boost library.

HPUX
---------
Boost does not officially support HPUX.
However I have managed to build boost successfully with version 1.45
using HPUX compiler vapp, with the following compiled libraries:
    boost_serialization
    boost_system
    boost_thread
    boost_test
    boost_test_monitor
    boost_program_options
    boost_filesystem
    boost_datetime
    boost_python

and use the following header only libs:
   smart pointer, bind, ASIO,
   lexical_cast, utility, lambda
   spirit classic

Note ASIO < 1.45 was broken, than has now been fixed in 1.45
Occasionally I have had to hack boost to get it to compile.
Up to boost 1.38 I used gcc on HPUX.

AIX
-----
All of the libraries mentioned above should work fine on v11.1 c++ compiler
However please note: the boost serialisation is broken in release mode,
and has been for quite a while. Also there are problems with spirit.qi

You need to look at each library individually to see if it works
for you.

   Best regards,
