Hi all,
sry for the false alarm but it was indeed a conflict between some old and some 
new boost header files. I'm awfully sry. Now it works, there are only two self-
tests failing, one trivially because afs does not allow FIFOs, the other one 
because of a conflict of some gcc libraries.  (some part of  the test asks for 
an old gcc 3.4 lib but I dont care about that). So it works now!
Sry for the inconvenience. 
Cheers,
	JRR
