I solved those by changing
int test_main(int, char* []) into BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( test1 ) hope that's ok...
More than - an improvement - using the latest recommended way of starting Boost.Test
Anyway, I'll be able to add some validated code to the sandbox soon.
Ping when committed. PS Take care to follow other distribution tests as examples - there are several of pits (into which I have fallen, serially) Since I think the formulae only use built-in functions like exp, they should be quite accurate and you should be able to set the tolerance as a few eps even when round tripping. Don't forget too that (for full portability) constants should be declared and long double static_cast<RealType>(0.53958342416056554201085167134004L) (unless they are 'exactly representable' like 0.5, 0.25...)
After that ...multi-dim-Gaussian's!
Now the real fun will begin! Paul
