It looks like mpicxx.h is having problems.  Try to download 
http://www.usqcd.org/fnal/example/cpi.c, rename it to a .cpp file, and try 
to compile it with mpic++.  If you get similar errors, it is a bug in 
MPICH and you should report it there (you might be hitting 
http://trac.mpich.org/projects/mpich/ticket/1582 which mentions the same 
line number as in your error messages).  If that ends up being the 
problem, adding -DMPICH_SKIP_MPICXX to your compile flags might act as a 
workaround.  If you do hit the existing bug, you might want to post a 
comment on that bug saying that it breaks compiling Boost.MPI with MPICH 
3.0.2.
