Hello! I want to install boost.mpi on my ubuntu. Using the synaptic I have installed boost 1.35, boost-build and bjam to follow the instructions of http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_37_0/doc/html/mpi/getting_started.html#mpi.c... They say that I should run "bjam --with-mpi" in the top-level boost directory, but it is not clear for me where is this directory. I try to run this command in every directory where it was something about boost but it didnot work. /usr/include /usr/share/boost-build /usr/share/boost-build/tools The error message that I obtain is: error: no Jamfile in current directory found I have tried to do the same in another computer and in this case I have installed manually boost 1.37 and here it is working. Do you know what is the problem? boost 1.35 supports boost.mpi? Do I need to download boost manually? Thank you very much.

These instructions only apply for building boost from the source. You probably don't need to do this if you installed a prebuilt package. In Christ, Steven Watanabe

Sofia, There are problems in some of the package managed boost installs where they have decided to strip out some of the Jamfiles. This does not interfere with installation using the manager, but it wrecks things for bjam. Try installing from a fresh 1.37 download and see if everything works for you. John
Thank you very much!
I have installed 1.37 and everything is working.
