The output usually goes to 'boost/bin.v2'. If you look there, there is a 
'lib' subdirectory and for each boost component its own directory under 
that subdirectory. Look for a subdirectory called 'test' for each 
component and if you drill down from there for each test you will 
eventually come to some output files for each test. Look at the file 
called 'sometest.output' and you will get the output for that test.
