Two versions of libboost?

edit

I've seen that running two versions of libboost will cause problems, but I can't figure out how to upgrade my libboost so that I can use an external library.

I'm using the vicon_bridge package, which uses a Vicon SDK that seems to need libboost1.53. My BOOST_LIB_VERSION macro prints out as Boost version: 1_46_1, and apt-cache policy libboost-dev returns:

libboost-dev:
  Installed: 1.48.0.2
  Candidate: 1.48.0.2
  Version table:
 *** 1.48.0.2 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I'm running a 32-bit VM of Ubuntu 12.04 with ROS Hydro. If I run sudo apt-get install libboost1.54-dev, apt-get will uninstall all my ros binaries (presumably because they need a 1.4* version of boost).

How can I meet both 1.53 and 1.48 boost version dependencies simultaneously?

EDIT: I'd assumed that it's a boost library issue, but might not be. Here's the backtrace from the segfault:

EDIT 2: More info on the boost linking:

$ ldd vicon_bridge  | grep boost
libboost_signals.so.1.46.1 => /usr/lib/libboost_signals.so.1.46.1 (0xb70ba000)
libboost_system.so.1.46.1 => /usr/lib/libboost_system.so.1.46.1 (0xb7090000)
libboost_thread.so.1.46.1 => /usr/lib/libboost_thread.so.1.46.1 (0xb7079000)
libboost_filesystem.so.1.46.1 => /usr/lib/libboost_filesystem.so.1.46.1 (0xb7034000)
libboost_regex.so.1.46.1 => /usr/lib/libboost_regex.so.1.46.1 (0xb6d8e000)

I get the same output even after I run commands like:

$ catkin_make --force-cmake --pkg vicon_bridge -DBoost_DIR=/home/cohrint/catkin_ws/src/vicon_bridge/vicon_sdk/Vicon_SDK_1.3_Linux/32-bit/ -DBoost_NO_SYSTEM_PATHS=ON -DBoost_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS="1.53;1.53.0"

and I get the same thing whenever I try to edit the CMakeLists.txt file as specified in this post.

EDIT3: I've now reinstalled everything on a 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 install, and I still get issues with Boost. Here's the output of roslaunch vicon_bridge vicon.launch:
