Thank you for the help so far. Ok, I run the following line:
bjam_solaris -a "-sTOOLS=gcc-stlport" "-sBUILD=debug release" "-sSTLPORT_ROOT=/core/elements/cots/stlport-4.5.3"
where: -bjam_solaris - www.boost.org Boost.Jam executable for SUN Solaris -boost 1.28.0 -stlport 4.5.3 -gcc 2.95.3
I still get the following errors (only first part reprinted here for size):
--------------------------------------------------------------------- skipping Boost.Python library build

<snip> It looks to me as though you've found an interaction between STLPort and the solaris "C" headers. Perhaps somewhere there's an unterminated extern "C" {... block? If you look at the top of c_regex_traits.cpp, you'll see it begins: #define BOOST_REGEX_SOURCE #include <clocale> #include <cstdio> #include <list> And your problem has already happened by this point. So, I guess all I can tell you is "it's not a Boost bug". You might try looking at the preprocessed compiler output to see what's going on here. -Dave
