Hi Raghava, are you on windows? You're better off using cygwin and installing boostlib as part of that. I was unsuccessful at getting it to work by installing the boost libraries on their own. Using cygwin and including all the recommended libraries worked properly.

I am trying to install Thrift. I downloaded Boost and in the Boost doc it says that no need to build it. So I didn't build it. I want to install Thrift under my user account, so I have given --prefix and --exec-prefix options to configure. I have setup $BOOST_HOME (it is in my home directory). When I run configure with the above options, I get a Boost libraries not detected error. The following is the error. I am building Thrift on Suse 64bit machine. How can I resolve this error? checking for boostlib >= 1.33.1... configure: error: We could not detect the boost libraries (version 1.33 or higher). If you have a staged boost library (still not installed) please specify $BOOST_ROOT in your environment and do not give a PATH to --with-boost option. If you are sure you have boost installed, then check your version number looking in <boost/version.hpp>. See http://randspringer.de/boost for more documentation. Thank you. Regards, Raghava.
