Not all Boost libraries built properly. -------------------
This is on a relatively unmodified Ubuntu Intrepid linux install. I could only find one other mention of this problem on the web and it was a mailing list post with no answer, so I'm apparently doing something quite unusually wrong.
FWIW, the reason I'm building from source rather than using a package is that the Ubuntu packages don't seem to provide a binary lib for MPI - am I missing something here? They provide header files, so it seems eccentric not to provide a package with libs.
Is there a site-config.jam lying around somewhere? Try running bjam manually with --debug-configuration and look for a line like notice: Loading site-config configuration file site-config.jam from path/to/site-config.jam . In Christ, Steven Watanabe
