Hi Guys Despite having used Boost for quite while I'm doing my first install of Boost on a Linux box and don't seem to be getting it right! This should be straight forward, using all the defaults. Specifically this is Fedora 11 (64-bit), with gcc 4.4.1 and Boost 1.42, and I don't have write permission for /usr/local, so...
./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/home/rjones/thirdparty/boost/boost_1_42_0 .... ./bjam install 2>&1 | tee bjam.log
There's A LOT of noise, lots of warnings, some errors, and finally cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/lib/libboost_wave.a': Permission denied cp "bin.v2/libs/wave/build/gcc-4.4.1/release/link-static/threading-multi/libboost_wave.a" "/usr/local/lib/libboost_wave.a" ...failed common.copy /usr/local/lib/libboost_wave.a... ...failed updating 98 targets... ...skipped 7732 targets... ...updated 674 targets... I've attached the logfile begin and end (it's huge!). Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong. Thanks, Rob.
