(1) I downloaded and untarred from the Unix .bz2 download. Many of the directories have 700 (user-only access) permissions, instead of the usual 755. I can correct everything by hand, but this seems like a mistake. It would be good to offer us a useful chmod command to fix this.
find boost_1_56_0 -type d | xargs chmod 755
(2) I started to look at the getting_started docs, because I expected some advice with respect to the new library structure. However, the docs all refer to 1.55.0, so I doubt that I will learn anything from them. I can muddle on without help, but I was hoping to avoid unnecessary delays in installing 1.56.0.
The instructions are the same for both versions, it's just that no one remembered to rebuild the document for 1.56. I can fix that on the website.
