I do "sudo ./b2 ... " Is this the right way? Best, Panagiotis On Wed, Jul 25, 2012 at 4:23 PM, Alain Leblanc wrote:

I invoke ./b2 variant=release and everything seems to be fine. I can see that the thread library is created inside under $SOURCE/bin.v2/libs . Nevertheless, the command ./b2 install does not copy the libraries under /usr/local. It does nothing. All I see is many warnings similar to:

**************************** skipped bin.v2/libs/thread/build/gcc-4.4.3/release/link-static for lack of bin.v2/libs/thread/build/gcc-4.4.3/release... ****************************

Any ideas?

Do you run the b2 install command in super user mode, or under an account that has write permission in /usr/local? _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users

Thank you for the reply. Yes, it is a permission issue. I gave the whole folder full access for everybody and it worked, although I do not feel comfortable. But to answer your previous question, the command I type is "./b2 variant=release install" and it creates static libraries by default.

Seems right, but it's hard to tell without seeing more of your output, and I don't know what the default install dir is, or the default link option (static, shared or both).

Are you sure it has not been installed anywhere? You could try to run find from your root directory, something like

find / -name "libboost*" -print
