Hello,

I do not know if anyone else has noticed this, but when you install
valgrind it is unable to detect that boost is installed.

>From research I now know that valgrind does not use boost itself, but
the lack of detection of installed boost results in some of the testing
units to not be compiled and able to be used.

Should we fix this so that testing can be more complete than it
currently is?

>From the research there was at least one person who claimed that they
had made modifications to allow the correct detection, but they were not
sure that it was done the correct way.

I have not applied their patch as I do not know what if anything it may
break.

There are others here who know both packages far better than I do who
may well be able to get this working if indeed it is deemed to be
needed.

Regards,

Christopher.
