How to install Boost.Numeric.Bindings
Hi, I've downloaded the whole boost src. svn co https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost boost Right now, I need Boost.Numeric.Bindings which is in the sandbox. I tried bjam, but I got the following error. Can somebody let me know how to compile Boost.Numeric.Bindings? Thanks, Peng $ bjam Unable to load Boost.Build: could not find build system. --------------------------------------------------------- /home/local/eda06/yupeng/test/C++/svn/boost/sandbox/boost-build.jam attempted to load the build system by invoking 'boost-build ;' but we were unable to find "bootstrap.jam" in the specified directory or in BOOST_BUILD_PATH (searching /usr/share/boost-build). Please consult the documentation at 'http://www.boost.org'.

Set the environment variable BOOST_BUILD_PATH to point to the Boost.Build directory in the main boost tree. John.

Can you be more specific on which dir it shall point to in my case? Thanks, Peng

See http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_36_0/doc/html/bbv2/installation.html But it's the boost-path/tools/build/v2 directory I believe. HTH, John.

I don't find any .cpp file in boost/sandbox/boost/numeric/bindings. Does it mean that I don't have to build it in order to use it? Do I just need to include the header files to use it? Lapack does not come with boost-sandbox, right? Do I have to download lapack and install it separately so that Boost.Numeric.Bindings can use it? Thanks, Peng

Probably, but I've never used that so I've no idea.

See http://www.netlib.org/lapack/ BTW uBlas has a dedicated mailing list: you would probably get more knowledgeable help there, Regards, John.

It does

It should be possible to use with any Lapack implementation (Atlas, Intel MKL, AMD ACML, etc...) but you will need to pick one yourself. I've tested Atlas and Intel MKL with success. Roel

This means that all the LAPACK implementation adhere to the same interface, right?

You don't need to build anything, just include the right files
