Hi, Sorry for the late reply, but I just realized that half of my computers running Mint 13 (based on Ubuntu 12.04) come with Boost 1.46, yet I have had no problem building gnuradio without using "-DENABLE_BAD_BOOST=True" Admittedly, this distro appears to have a horrible mix of 1.46 and 1.48, which may confuse cmake - I really have no idea which one really is installed but I do have runtime issues on these computers. If anybody has ideas for what we can do on Mint 13 / Ubuntu 12.04, please let me know.
