Dear Synge,
I have encountered the same test failures when I used boost-1_33_1 on my x86_64 box (CentOS 4.3, kernel 2.6.9, icc 9.1.045). Please try a newer version of boost, i.e. RC_1_34_0 or CVS HEAD. Recent snapshots are available from http://looper.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/alps-jp/download/boost.
thank you very much for your advice. Recompiling with boost-RC_1_34_0 resolved all test failures.
Best regards, Harald.
