Answer 1

Looks like boost was compiled with pre-C++11 std::basic_string, whereas your code is compiled with C++11 std::basic_string.

Try re-compiling your code with -D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0 compiler command line option. See GCC5 and the C++11 ABI for more details:

In most cases, it will be obvious when this flag is needed because of errors from the linker complaining about unresolved symbols involving __cxx11.
