I should have asked not just for trouble reports, but success reports too.
I have successfully built rc2 on my Debian Linux box with gcc 4.1.3 - though I have probably not exercised it enough to detect any problems. A few notes, which are not things that need to be fixed for the release: - The top-level directory after untaring was called boost-posix-2008-03-21; I was expecting something more like boost-1.35.0-rc2; is this going to change for the final version? - It's nice that the build process uses "./configure; make; make install" but it would be even nicer if there was a file called INSTALL that explained, in a couple of lines, that that was the way to build it. This would make it even more like other open-source packages. - It looks as if configure checks for some dependencies (ICU?), but it didn't check whether I had the necessary python or bzip2 headers installed; it would be great if it could do this automatically.
