log_root_two_pi is defined in constants.hpp on boost-trunk

 BOOST_DEFINE_MATH_CONSTANT(log_root_two_pi, 9.189385332046727417803297364056176398e-01, "9.18938533204672741780329736405617639861397473637783412817151540482765695927260397694743298635954197622005646625e-01")

So I suspect we may have failed to get this into the release.

Meanwhile using this file from boost-trunk may get you going?

https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/boost/math/constants/constants.hpp

Yours in haste...

Paul

PS If this fails, we have some other problem :-(
