Re: [Boost-users] Problem compiling boost::iostreams - bzlib.h file notfound

I have just downloaded boost 1.33.0 and am doing a bulk-standard install on my linux PC as per the instructions, with the command:

bjam "-sTOOLS=gcc" install

Nearly everything worked fine, but the iostreams library failed to compile, with the error in boost_1_33_0/libs/iostreams/src/bzip2.cpp: could not find include file "bzlib.h"

Try defining the variable NO_BZIP2. See http://tinyurl.com/bcjuz and http://tinyurl.com/dn6gx.

On further investigation, this file comes from the package libbzip2_1-devel, which also needs to be installed.

An extra thought: bzip2.cpp includes this file as #include "bzlib.h" but it should really be #include <bzlib.h> as this is from a different library.

Could you elaborate?
