3) Failing test tests: This is a DLL issue. In file boost/test/test/unit_test_suite_impl.hpp the compiler coplains about base class test_unit not defined, despite it is.

A comment in libs/test/build/Jamfile.v2 let me believe so.

This one is truely weird: it looks like an obvious compiler issue to me.

I haven't seen the compiler messages, so just a wild guess: Could this be related to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/ru-ru/library/twa2aw10(VS.80).aspx (item 4, i.e. C4275)? NB: This issue is also documented at least for vc 7.1. cheers, aa -- Andreas Ames | Programmer | Comergo GmbH | Voice: +49 711 13586 7789 | ames AT avaya DOT com
