There are no quick/easy workarounds for such issues other than:

1. Making sure that all components involved make use of the same Boost library versions, or

2. Making sure that the components which require Boost statically link against the Boost version which they prefer, or

3. Separating the different components which require Boost into separate applications.

In further detail:

Option 1: It looks like you are making use of GNU Radio from Python, I do believe that GNU Radio depends on Boost. You may be able to (re)compile GNU Radio to make it use Boost 1.49 and where you even specifically link it to the Boost libraries shipped with the MCR (these can be found in the bin/glnxa64 directory).

Option 2: If GNU Radio specifically requires a different Boost version you may be able to recompile it and statically link it against this version.

Option 3: Instead of compiling your MATLAB Code into a Shared Library, compile it into a standalone application which you can launch from your Python process. This separate standalone should be able to use its own Boost libraries without problems then. There are Python libraries which can read and write MAT-files so you can relatively efficiently pass in- and outputs from and to that standalone application through MAT-files."

This sounds like good advice. Option 2 sounds the most sane.
