Hi Dave P., Thanks for the info. I guess that would be the same as their online documentation, which I had read :- http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_41_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html And yes, this LOOKS EASY, and simple... but this requires - (a) unpacking the WHOLE package, and (b) compiling it as indicated... Generally, I like to 'install' packages like this through the update manager, and not fiddle with them myself... And, as you can read in section 3, in our case we presently only need the 'headers'... so yes, you > probably compiled a lot more than required, > but all worked. as it should ;=)) Maybe if I too updated to Ubuntu 9.10 (the latest), it _MAY_ have a later version of boost available, but I chose 8.04 LTS, specifically because of its 'Long Term Support", and I hope the distro packages will be 'soon' updated... I have put a message on the Ubuntu forum, Installation & Upgrades, asking if and when it is likely that they will update 'boost' in my 8.04 LTS package manager... But thanks again...
