Hi all, I am a newbie when it comes to using boost. My primary motivation behind using boost is that I want to use the Text processing, Numerical computing facilities together in one common language. Boost Regex, Spriti and The BLas Libraries would serve my purpose. However, I am having a tough time installing and running it. I am not able to find any good documentation for using this. My requirement is this: 1. I want to be able to install Boost locally in my Unix account. I don't have root privileges. 2. There is a wrapper called Boost Numerics Package written and hosted at http://mathema.tician.de/software/boost-bindings. I want to be able to use this also. This allows me to use ATLAS, BLAS in Boost. I would also like to know, how tough is it to interface C++ code with Python using Boost.Python. I am not an expert in Python. What is the procedure to do this? Your help will be highly appreciated. Thanks, Ajay G.
