Hello Júlio, Thanks for your reply. I've tried to pass the libraries that I needed in a past attempt. It didn't help. If I don't specify any library to bootstrap.sh, all the libraries are built. This way, I'm sure I don't miss anything. It also makes the explanation of what I did more straightforward. I'll definitely have a closer look at the doc. I might have missed something, although it would be surprising to have to modify something in the configuration to make such a simple example build.

The Boost library is header-only, except this parts: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html... < http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html...

For example, i'm using Boost.MPI and Boost.Random, my bootstrap.sh call is something like:

./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/your/desired/path --with-libraries=mpi,random I think you need to pass Filesystem to bootstrap.sh before anything. Also is a good idea read it's docs, because maybe you will need to edit some specific configuration files like i did in Boost.MPI. Regards, Júlio.
