It sounds like you don't have the include path for boost as part of your build environment.  By default I believe it should be installed somewhere like '/opt/local/include/boost'.  If you are using a compiled boost library, you may also need '/opt/local/lib'.  Can you post more information on what build system you are using? (Xcode, eclipse, make, etc).

I have created a XCode project and I have add Header Search Path to /opt/local/include/boost Library Search Path to /opt/local/lib.

But I still have this error:   "boost::system::get_generic_category()", referenced from:       __static_initialization_and_destruction_0(int, int)in main.o       __static_initialization_and_destruction_0(int, int)in main.o       __static_initialization_and_destruction_0(int, int)in main.o

I found this thread http://www.nabble.com/installing-boost-on-Mac-OS-X-(version-10.5.5)-td200872 59.html but it did not solve my problem. This is because you did not link to Boost.System library.

I have add /opt/local/lib to my LIBRARY SEARCH PATH in my xcode project info. And in my /opt/local/lib, I find this (I assume that is Boost.System library):

-rw-r--r-- 2 root admin 80600 Jul 23 16:31 libboost_system-mt.a -rwxr-xr-x 2 root admin 30988 Jul 23 16:30 libboost_system-mt.dylib*

You need to add libboost_system-mt.dylib as an external link library for the target you are linking. See Xcode Build System Guide: Linking to a Dynamic Library in a Nonstandard Location Regards, Grant
