I shut down my computer at home this morning, so I can't access it from here and check the exact versions, but I'm using a 32bits Fedora11 there and I've now built rdkit a few times on that machine without noticing any distribution-specific problem. I'm likely to have used a more recent version of the boost libraries though (from the reported diagnostics I would say boost 1.36.0 was being compiled in the present case) and this may eventually make a difference with regard to the available version of gcc, but in my experience problems were most often due to accidental mistakes in managing the build procedure (from this point of view I've found running bjam with the additional -q option - so that it stopped as soon as any target failed - quite useful). Since the successful builds listed on the google code wiki are also based on more recent versions of Boost, I would consider trying one of those prior to reinstalling the system. Regards, Riccardo
