Hi,

I'm very new to C++ and Boost. I want to make a simple desktop application (a game editor, basically read/write a binary file) using QtCreator.
Right now I'm only interested in Boost.Test for the unit tests.

I tried to install using the instructions in "Getting started" but wasn't able to, probably because of bad english and lack of C++ knowledge.

I unpacked Boost to /home/otto/boost_1_44_0/
From there, I ran:

$ mkdir dist
$ ./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/home/otto/boost_1_44_0/dist --show-libraries --with-libraries=test
$ ./bjam install

It seems that config had no effect as it built everything (instead of just test) and to bin.v2/. A few "cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/lib/libboost_wave.a': Permission denied" errors too.
What went wrong?

Now I have bin.v2/libs/test/build/gcc-4.4.4/release with directories link-static and threading-multi.

I also would like to configure it for usage with QtCreator.

Thanks
