When I try to link a test suite I get this:
ld: multiple definitions of symbol boost::test_tools::(anonymous
namespace)::check_is_close
mspathCEntry_test.o definition of boost::test_tools::(anonymous
namespace)::check_is_close in section (__DATA,__data)
ModelBuilder_test.o definition of boost::test_tools::(anonymous
namespace)::check_is_close in section (__DATA,__data)
ld: multiple definitions of symbol boost::test_tools::(anonymous
namespace)::check_is_small
mspathCEntry_test.o definition of boost::test_tools::(anonymous
namespace)::check_is_small in section (__DATA,__data)
ModelBuilder_test.o definition of boost::test_tools::(anonymous
namespace)::check_is_small in section (__DATA,__data)
LinearProduct_test.o definition of boost::test_tools::(anonymous
namespace)::check_is_close in section (__DATA,__data)
LinearProduct_test.o definition of boost::test_tools::(anonymous
namespace)::check_is_small in section (__DATA,__data)
.....
This is with boost 1.33 on Darwin/OS-X.  The same code was building OK
with the 1.31 libraries (and 1.32 on linux, I think).  I'm using libtool.
Here's the makefile
...
I remember seeing similar report recently. As it clear from error message
linker complains about multiple definitions for symbols in anonymous
namespace. This looks like compiler bug. If you know any workarounds please
share them with us.

I had the same problem with vc 7.1. If you add 'static' to all
variables definitions in anonymous namespaces it works fine.

For example instead of
namespace {
check_is_close_t check_is_close;
}

You can write
namespace {
static check_is_close_t check_is_close; // note 'static' keyword
}

Best regards,
