i admit that this is inevitably a dumb question but what is boost "jam" as opposed to the generic boost library? thanks. rday p.s. i want to install boost on a fedora 9 (soon to be fedora 10) system, and i just want to know what's essential and what isn't. ======================================================================== Robert P.

It is a build system used by boost, a sort of make like tool for boost.

Basically, if you don't want the bells and whistles (like easier binding to python, unicode regular expressions, parsing of a specific graph file format, MPI, etc.) you will only need a recent and decent C++ compiler (and related tools, of course) and Boost Jam (bjam). Bjam can be found pre-built for many systems on SourceForge, and I assume using GCC is not an issue for you? - -yzt -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAklVKl8ACgkQMjUkP+sBox6tbQCcCc1VvUE4/y/MXg/hoPsUxd5P 3PcAnjtqNnUGgek82KwIBJw/XMOE7h+i =HJXH -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
