I suggest you to try other Boost version.  Recently there were some post,
where David Abrahams said build system was broken on this platform.

I was able to build Boost after minimal problems, mostly from setting up

Am I barking up the wrong tree by trying to statically link those libs?


Are you sure you are linking with the right version of Python?

Any advice that anyone could give would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks

I guess the problem with your "make" files.
