Why not just install the ubuntu boost library packages? They seem to be available for ubunut... Jeffrey Holle wrote:

To get boost you can use either, not both. Your Linux doesn't use rpms if its debian based, so use the tar ball (boost_1_33_1.tar.gz) and unpack it with "tar -xzf boost_1_33_1.tar.gz".

Hi everbody,

I am trying to install boost and posted a message and got the reply

Download "boost-jam-3.1.11-1.i386.rpm" and "boost_1_33_1.tar.gz" from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7586

#rpm -ivh /path/boost-jam-3.1.11-1.i386.rpm #mv /path/boost_1_33_1.tar.gz /usr/local/src/ #cd /usr/local/src #tar -zxvf boost_1_33_1.tar.gz #cd /usr/local/src/boost_1_33_1/tools/build/jam_src/ #./build.sh #cp bin.linuxx86/bjam ../../../ #cd ../../../ #./bjam "-sTOOLS=gcc" install

but the very first command rpm gives a conflict message with Debian files since I am using Ubuntu which is based on Debian or am I wrong?

Any comments will be appreciated.
