Have you solved this error? I'm getting a similar error

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_cast'
  what():  std::bad_cast
Abort trap

In the error log I see:

Any help is greatly appreciated, Spinach

_GLIBCXX_DEBUG breaks ABI compatibility. If you use it, then Boost needs to be built with it too.

I still have this issue and I've built Boost with _GLIBCXX_DEBUG as well.

Thanks for the link - it explains the problem. It is not a bug of lexical_cast, it is a compiler/library bug.
