Yes, Josh is right, Mint 12 has a version of Boost that is plenty new enough for GNU Radio (1.46.1.1; we require 1.35). It _should_ be: $ sudo apt-get install libboost-dev That will pull in all of the Boost libraries for you and install them into /usr/lib. (This is just a guess since I don't have a Mint machine to test on).
