How bout a c++ compiler i can run boost on?

You can build and use most of boost with the current release. If
there are any specific libraries that are giving you trouble, I'd like
to know.

Huh? You should have a look through the Boost regression web pages, for the
CVS RC_1_34_0 candidate, which hopefully will be released very very soon.

http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost-regression/CVS-RC_1_34_0/developer/

They have entries for the 5.8.2 compiler (which is the latest released
AFAIK) for several of the libraries.

Check out the multi-array library:
http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost-regression/CVS-RC_1_34_0/developer/multi_array.html


or, the lambda library:
http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost-regression/CVS-RC_1_34_0/developer/lambda.html


I could go on-and-on.

Note that Boost has regression testing software they use to check to see if
all bugs/regressions are removed before they make a release, and they report
those daily on the Boost devel list. It currently only shows about 3 or 4
Borland regressions/bugs, but that is simply because they have marked the
rest of them as expected failures for that compiler. At least that is my
understanding of the situation. I'm sure Alisdair can clarify the exact
state of failures.
