build from cvs, what is ICU_PATH?

I'm trying to build from cvs on Linux. Here's what I get: PYTHON_ROOT=/usr PYTHON_VERSION=2.4 bjam -sTOOLS=gcc stage ****************************************************** Building Boost.Regex with Unicode/ICU support disabled. HINT: define the environment variable ICU_PATH to point to the root directy of your ICU installation if you have one. Couldn't find utypes.h in ****************************************************** locate utypes.h /usr/include/schily/utypes.h Is this what it wants? How to I use it?

See: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/boost/boost/libs/regex/doc/... Note that there is no requirement to enable ICU/Unicode support (I should make that fact clearer), and if you don't know what ICU is, then the answer to your question is almost certainly to do nothing ;-) John.

No. ICU is a library for Unicode support. What 'locate' found is part of a SCSI library. See http://www-306.ibm.com/software/globalization/icu/index.jsp and http://icu.sourceforge.net/ (For Gentoo: emerge icu. For Debian: apt-get install libicu-dev icu. I didn't test either of those.)
