HI: My first questio here, please be nice. I am trying to install the boost_1_31_0 on Cygwin, and get confused about which bjam should i use, I have tried boost-jam-3.1.10-1-ntx86 but get the following error: (it skipped the python libraries at the beginning, i don't need it but not sure if this matters for the following steps) ...patience... ...found 7570 targets... ...updating 3057 targets... MkDir1 C:\Boost spawn: No such file or directory Also tried the linux version : boost-jam-3.1.10-1-linuxx86 but have the following error this time. 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected thanks a lot for any help . tong

Tong What do you mean 'on cygwin'. You can install boost without cygwin. Jan

It's a bit of a cop-out, but if you don't need any of the pre-compiled parts, you can just copy and paste the boost directory of headers into your gcc include directory. That's what I always do. Pete
