Hi John, Glad you got it working without any 'patching' ;=)) Unfortunately boost does not seem to 'obey' the de facto auto-tool path pragma... that is :- headers in <path>/include libraries in <path>/lib And the 'standard' path will be '/usr', or 'usr/local', as you show in part... When you unpack boost 1.43.0 tar.gz into <somewhere>, it puts its headers in <somewhere>/boost_1_43_0, that is like <somewhere>/boost_1_43_0/boost/version.hpp, and when you build the boost libraries, they are staged (uninstalled) in - <somewhere>/boost_1_43_0/stage/lib... Then you should do the configure with - --with-boost=<somewhere>/boost_1_43_0 no addition... The AX_BOOST_BASE macro then overcomes most of this difference between where the 'standard' auto-tools would look, and where boost likes to put things, and my patch fixes this for some other cases... And this is similar even if you use the svn boost trunk, or some other svn tag... Anyway, all is well if you got something working ;=)) Regards, Geoff. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
