Thanks Simon, Uwe and David for your helpful answers. English is not my primary language, so I was hypothesising a bit about the correct interpretation of "inlining" and "supply inside". I thought it meant copying the headers inside the package. I was already inspecting RQuantlib but I did, so far, not get smarter. I think I will setup a VMware OS X 10.5 with an older boost. This approach seems more reliable to me than just trying around with a configure script which, eventually, I don't understand fully. Yet, interesting that GUTS builds on Win and Linux, but not on the CRAN OS X. Anyway, thanks for your help.
