It failed with all versions of Boost. With Boost 1.40 I am having some other problems, not being able to build QuantLib it self even. With Boost earlier versions QuantLib builds fine, it is the SWIG wrapper tha fails in linking.

Temporarily what I did was to change the linker option to force building a library despite the unresolved linkage issue. I am for myself able to compare tests between this lib for Python 2.6 with the one I have for Python 2.5 and the functions I use work fine.  Obviously not an ideal solution, but works for me.

Sorry, I'm not sure I got this---were you able to build the QuantLib
module with Boost <= 1.39? Or does it fail with those as well?
