Thanks for all feedback.

Finally I managed:
- I installed the library with the help from John and Aaron
- and I also used the "=" as indicated by Geert.

-> Works all fine now :-)

    Hi,

    to check if some "front-porting" is working, I tried to compile on
    the master branch - for the first time.

    It told me that boost is missing:

    checking for boostlib >= 1.48.0... configure: We could not detect
    the boost libraries (version 1.48 or higher). If you have a staged
    boost library (still not installed) please specify $BOOST_ROOT in
your environment and do not give a PATH to --with-boost option. If you are sure you have boost installed, then check your version
    number looking in <boost/version.hpp>. See
    http://randspringer.de/boost for more documentation.
    configure: error: Boost 1.48.0 or later was not found and is
    required to build GnuCash

    So I downloaded Boost 1.56.0 into "/opt/lib/boost/boost_1_56_0".

    Running configure with an environment variable
    echo $BOOST_ROOT -> /opt/lib/boost/boost_1_56_0
    does not change anything.

    Running configure with
    --with-boost "/opt/lib/boost/boost_1_56_0"
    results in:
    checking build system type... Invalid configuration
    `/opt/lib/boost/boost_1_56_0': machine
    `/opt/lib/boost/boost_1_56_0' not recognized
    configure: error: /bin/bash ../config.sub
    /opt/lib/boost/boost_1_56_0 failed

    What can I do?

    Kind regards,
    Carsten

I do a similar thing, and here is what I pass to configure:

    ./configure --with-boost=/home/lmat/builds/development

(I trimmed out a dozen lines, but this should get to the gist of the matter.)

I built boost with

#!/bin/bash
cd boostsvn
./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/home/lmat/builds/development
./b2 install

I don't set BOOST_ROOT. Hopefully this helps?

In Christ,
Aaron Laws
