Hi all,
I need some help with building Boost.MPI. My system is a Debian testing (lenny) system and I'm following the instructions at [lenny uses 1.35 and not 1.36]:
... [snip]
Or maybe I should just go with installing from source into a separate directory. This latter option seems easiest right now, I guess...
Just a quick follow-up to my situation. I went ahead and did this -- downloaded the source and did a local installation. While compiling wasn't perfect -- the error I got was "failed updating 69 targets, skipped 18 targets" -- but 7857 targets worked...so percentage-wise, it's ok. :-) Most importantly, I did this to get Boost.MPI working. So, I tried the test program in the Boost.MPI tutorial and it worked fine.
So, it seems [for me, anyway], this was a reasonable option compared to wrestling with the Debian package which I might go back to some day, but right now, I don't know enough to fix that.
Big thank you for your help! Your message gave me the motivation to look into this alternative [of downloading from source and installing]...

Ray, Glad it worked out. It looks like Debian is currently not a good choice. (I've never used it, so I didn't know this.) Happy coding. John
