Hubert Figuiere contributed the following fix. He suggested that I add: using boost::unit_test::test_suite; test_suite* init_unit_test_suite(int argc, char ** argv) { return NULL; } Before my `main' (which reads: int main() { BOOST_CHECK(2 == 2); return 0; })

I can't say I understand 100% what you are trying to do here, but using Testing tools outside of the UnitTest framework might not be a good idea. In 1.35 I've implemented a check against it and it may throw an exception. Gennadiy
