I think the error messages are quite clear.

I hesitate to ask, but what architecture is your platform?

Boost 1.41 was tested with gcc 4.4.1 on Ubuntu (and some older 
compilers), the platform is not mentioned, but it's probably x86 or 
x86_64.  It's possible that you need to modify the compiler 
configuration to accept the newer gcc and/or libstdc++.
