I tried to build Boost 1.33.1 and the example program with gcc 4.1.2 in kubuntu 6.10.
It worked! :-)
Well, I got some warnings and the final "Not all Boost libraries built properly."
Sounds like it didn't work :(
When I make again, I get:

Okay, the first thing you need to know is that the version of Boost you're working with (and in particular, the version of Boost.Build used by the configure/make scripts) is out-of-date with respect to the instructions. Please try again with the RC_1_34_0 branch from Boost CVS.
Building Boost.Regex with the optional Unicode/ICU support disabled. Please refer to the Boost.Regex documentation for more information (and if you don't know what ICU is then you probably don't need it). ...found 10626 targets... ...updating 24 targets...
OK so far.

Err, there are no GCC error messages in there? OK, I'm seeing them on my own ubuntu machine. We need to resolve these issues with the iostreams library build.
I have no idea what this is all about, but I got to compile, link and run the example so... :-)
Well, that doesn't necessarily mean everything's OK. The first example doesn't depend on any of the libraries building correctly. The second example only depends on one of the libraries building successfully.
I had a little problem with the libraries: I installed them in /usr/local/lib (deafult location, isn't it?), but the system didn't find them at runtime.
I had to append /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf, and then run ldconfig. I decided to do so after reading: http://www.dwheeler.com/program-library/Program-Library-HOWTO/x36.html
OK, I'll look into that and see if I can reproduce it. I don't actually have an ld.so.conf on my machine, so I might need to tell people to create that file if it doesn't already exist. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
