Hi!

I am trying to install boost 1.37 on Leopard 10.5.2.

I have put boost_1_37_0 in my home directory and I have successfully compiled and executed a header only application.

I am following the following instructions:

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_37_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html

When I try to run ./configure --help I get a permission denied error.

-bash: ./configure: Permission denied

When I say sudo: ./configure

sudo: ./configure: command not found

The configure file is certainly there.

I have even tried to make it readable and writable by everyone.

And executable too? That is a separate permission. HTH, Ian McCulloch
