Hi Tom
Yes, there's been a change in boost macros, and --with-boost-thread is no
longer supported (or needed). You can run ./configure --help to get a list of
the options.
If boost is in a standard place, then configure should just find it, but you
can
specify a boost location with --with-boost. The boost libraries will be used
if you specify '--enable-threads' or '--enable-boost' - the latter switches on
some boost data structures which speed up chart moses.
Some day boost wil be obligatory...
cheers - Barry
