All,

Does anyone have an example of how to install boost and bjam?

See the recently much improved Getting Started guide: http://boost.org/more/getting_started.html.

After you follow those instructions, boost will still not work. You'll need to create links to all of the mangled library names. For example, in my case all of the libraries have either "gcc" or "gcc_1_31" mangled in. However, the examples (or more specifically the boost.python example) assume that the libraries have unmangled names. To be specific, my install produced a file named: libboost_python-gcc-1_31.so.1.31.0 Which I then linked to: libboost_python.so.1.31.0 Scott
