It looks like I need that -- as Boost 1.34 is now in Debian unstable, QuantLib 0.4.0 and 0.8.0 do no longer build. So to keep QuantLib in unstable, we need to make it build with Boost 1.34. What is the best way to do that? As a very cheap and ugly alternative, I could turn Boost tests off. As I'd have to alter the package setup, I could introduce some silly bugs at that end. But if that is easier that redoing QL for Boost, I could go that way. Let me know. Regards, Dirk | I think we simply need to work the configure script.
