t...@tower SimGear-2.0.0]# ./configure --with-boost=/usr/src/boost_1_43_0/boost Strange, for some reason that does not appear to work in that the test for boost points to "/usr/include/boost_1_43_0/boost/include" <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< configure:4130: checking for boostlib >= 1.37.0 configure:4189: g++ -c -g -O2 -I/usr/src/boost_1_43_0/boost/include conftest.cc >&5 conftest.cc:15:30: error: boost/version.hpp: No such file or directory conftest.cc:24:5: error: #error Boost version is too old >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> but there is no include directory at that location, just the header files themselves. Any number of ways to handle the problem, just wondering why there is no include in the boost root directory. Developers' choice, glitch in the install, operator error??? And when running with a default "./configure" the test went to the "/usr/include/boost" directory which is an older 1.33 version on my machine <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< configure:4319: g++ -c -g -O2 -I/usr/include -I/include/boost-0 conftest.cc >&5 conftest.cc:24:6: error: #error Boost version is too old >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.. but, again, don't see anything in the boost distro to indicate creating a boost directory in /usr/include and copying the headers to that location. At any rate, problem solved Thanks for the help John ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
