Andy,

Thank you for your reply.  Is this a correct interpretation of what
you are saying:

I use Ubuntu Linux's apt-get to install boost.  I need to ask Ubuntu
which flavor of GCC was used to compile boost (c++98 or c++11).  Then,
when I build my applications using GCC I must use the same flavor.

For example, if Ubuntu compiled boost with c++98, I cannot write a
c++11 application that uses system-provided boost libraries.

Thank you again,

Chris
