Is that supposed to happen?

Yes, because the default path constructor is checking for 'portable paths'. Try using the 'native' checking policy instead -- something like: boost::filesystem::path p("/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.3/include/g++-v3/", boost::filesystem::native) See the docs for more... Jeff
