I have an up to date copy of boost trunk on a new machine (u233) running RHEL 6.0 kernel (Santiago). [ here's gcc-4.4.4 on the same hardware / os ]

And that's totally screwy, to pick one example it says that BOOST_NO_EXTERN_TEMPLATE need to be undefined, but it's only ever set for gcc-2.x!!
I don't understand why, but there's something completely wrong with those results...
OK double checked, it seems that recent Linux/GCC systems can't cope with that script - lots of spurious failures - I've regenerated the configure script with the latest autoconf version and hopefully this is fixed now. Can you try again?
I'm at rev. [bkn@u235 config]$ svn up At revision 69772. and the script still can't locate the boost source tree and passing arguments doesn't work at all. [bkn@u235 config]$ ./configure *** ./configure: boost configuration utility *** Please stand by while exploring compiler capabilities... Be patient - this could take some time... Note that this test script only gives an approximate configuration - you will need to test the results carefully using the boost regression test suite before using the results. *** Info : .cpp used as extension for tests checking for boost main tree... not found configure: error: The boost main tree was not found. Specify its location by the --with-boost option. -- Noel
