Its easy to download spirit 1.6. There's no "instalation" necessary other than just specifying the directory to which it has been loaded in one's path.
Where and how is that "specified?"
Okay, I found it, thanks. However, you should know that the link on that page that points to how to download Spirit 1.6 is broken.
Actually it's not that simple. Out-of-the-box Spirit 1.6.3 only works if it's used as in place replacement for 1.8 . The use of double quotes instead of angle brackets causes the compiler to include 1.8 files from 1.6 headers. To overcome this problem you can either export from Boost's CVS SPIRIT_1_6 branch or tweak the attached Python script to fix the 1.6.3 distribution.
I had mentioned this on the gmane.comp.parsers.spirit.devel NG on 7/22/2005 and was told that it would be fixed for the next release. Evidently it never was.
