on the Rcpp list since it appears to be some issue triggered by Rcpp includes - 
as if boost and tr1 and somehow define the same things but differently ... 
Since Dirk uses the same boost (1.43 here) successfully in QuantLib he may know 
more ...

Well, I already told Soeren over there on rcpp-devel that his issues are

  a) totally homegrown (as he continues to ignore configure issues and just
     assumes things would work because they do on his),

  b) hence unrelated to Rcpp (as he just throws '#include <boost/...>' in his
     code without testing

  c) almost entirely solvable by copy-and-paste as e.g. my RQuantLib has a
     configure script using boost-config he could copy (but I acknowldged
     that the configure script does more and is hence not the easiest
     possible).

Now, I do admit that learning configure is a bit of a pain, but that is the
price of admission of CRAN if you use Boost -- or you choose the frequently
done but very inelegant route of copying all your Boost headers into your
package.  My RcppBDT package does that too.  Some of us have talked about
creating a 'boost-headers' package for CRAN that the couple of Boost-using
packages could have a 'Depends:' and 'LinkingTo:' on.  Then his issues would
be solved -- but we're not there yet.

Soeren just shown resilience and persistence in getting his package
written, built and now onto CRAN.  The remaining step is to learn more about
cross-platform build issues.  Because that is the (high) standard of CRAN,
and if you want to be part of it, you are expected to conform.  No shortcuts.

guarantee the required version is used (which I would certainly expect GUTS to 
do since it doesn't depend on boost according to the DESCRIPTION).
