As you are on Linux 12.04 as I am your default compiler seems to be gcc 4.6.3.

Try adding this into the compile line when you building your binary file:

-DBOOST_NO_CXX11_ALLOCATOR

That worked for me on a simple example. It is buried now down in the thread.

Boost is getting the library version wrong and making some wrong choices. This fix should get you running.

By building my binary file are you saying I need to rebuild boost with this flag on? If so, how do I specify this flag when I'm building boost? Thanks again for all of your help.

I think John is saying you can use -DBOOST_NO_CXX11_ALLOCATOR in your compiler command line when you compile your code. I.e.code that uses boost, as a workaround until a fix to boost.config is available. That way you do not have to wait. If your boost build fails as well, I suspect it may, then you need to add it to your boost build command with ./b2 toolset=clang define=BOOST_NO_CXX11_ALLOCATOR ... http://www.boost.org/build/doc/html/bbv2/overview/invocation.html or maybe it is simpler to add something like using clang : 3.4 : : <cxxflags>-DBOOST_NO_CXX11_ALLOCATOR; to your user-config.jam file, so you can just do the simpler ./b2 toolset=clang ... http://www.boost.org/build/doc/html/bbv2/overview/configuration.html HTH -- Bjørn
