whoops. I forgot to include a couple of important details. After generating your 'user.hpp' and editing it as previously described, copy 'user.hpp' to ~/boost/config/user.hpp
Then, cd back to the root dir of the boost src, and run this: $ bjam "-sTOOLS=gcc" "-sBUILD=<cxxflags>-I/usr/local/include <linkflags>-L/usr/local/lib" stage ... lots of output ... $ bjam "-sTOOLS=gcc" "-sBUILD=<cxxflags>-I/usr/local/include <linkflags>-L/usr/local/lib" install ... more output ... After this, assuming all went well, boost will now be installed in /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include/boost-1_33_1 -- Benjamin Collins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature]
