Errors like this usually arise either because:

1) You haven't defined __STL_DEBUG when building a debug build (the prebuilt
lib's do this so you have to in order to link to them). However if this is
the case you should have got a #error from the autolinking code telling you
of the problem.
2) You're build of Boost did not in fact get built against STLport. Try
taking a peek at the symbols defined in the libraries to see if they're
using _STL or _STLD names (from STLport) or std:: names (from VC++). Also
try building with bjam and the -d2 option so you can see the command lines
generated and verify that all the paths are in fact correct.
