Dear Moses support team

I was wondering if MGIZA++ has been test-compiled on a Fedora Linux system
where Boost has been installed using yum, as I'm encountering some
problems. I'm working on a Fedora 20 system with x86_64 architecture. So
far I have done the following:

yum install boost.x86_64
yum install boost-devel.x86_64 (version 1.54 was installed)
yum install gcc
yum install gcc-c++
yum install gperftools
Downloaded and installed IRSTLM
./bjam --with-irstlm=/home/kotzegj/tools/irstlm-5.80.03 -j4
--with-boost=/usr/lib64
export BOOST_ROOT=/usr/lib64
export
BOOST_BUILD_PATH=/home/kotzegj/tools/mosesdecoder/jam-files/boost-build
./bjam --with-irstlm=/usr/local/irstlm -j4

I have tested Moses with sample-models and it seems OK.

However, MGIZA++ does not find Boost on its own:

-- Could NOT find Boost
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:59 (MESSAGE):
  Boost not found, please set the BOOST_ROOT and BOOST_LIBRARYDIR
environment
  variables

I have no success with setting either of these variables to:

- /usr/lib64
- /usr/include
- /usr/include/boost
- /home/kotzegj/tools/mosesdecoder/jam-files/boost-build
etc.

or if I download Boost manually, set the decompressed directory as
BOOST_ROOT, and symlink lib64 as a child and set that as BOOST_LIBRARYDIR.
(I've tried all kinds of stuff.)

I have the feeling (after some Googling) that the yum installation does not
result in the file structure that cmake is looking for, and that instead I
should try a manual installation. I hope that I'm wrong?

Thank you for your time.

Best regards,

Gideon Kotzé
