Also let us know if you spot any problems or have any other comments. Thanks, --Beman PS: I've already downloaded and tried the .zip file on Windows. No problems.

'bjam -q stage' with g++ 4.2.1 on Suse Linux 10.3: gcc.compile.c++ bin.v2/libs/iostreams/build/gcc-4.2.1/release/threading-multi/bzip2.o libs/iostreams/src/bzip2.cpp:20:56: error: bzlib.h: No such file or directory I tried then 'bjam -q define=NO_BZIP2 stage' and 'bjam -q define=NO_COMPRESSION stage' but this didn't work. I changed to libs/iostreams/build and tried another 'bjam -a define=NO_BZIP2 stage' but same problem. In the end I continued building the libraries with 'bjam -q --without-iostreams stage'. As there are probably not many Linux installations without bzip2 (I used an old VM now) it's not a show stopper for me. Boris

This should be -sNO_COMPRESSION=1 Does it work better? - Volodya

Yes, thanks, works now! And now I see that these are variables and no macros at http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_41_0/libs/iostreams/doc/installation.html. :-) Boris

I think you need to define an environment variable. Try 'NO_BZIP2=1 bjam -q'. Daniel

Built fine on Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 5.4 (Tikanga) with gcc-4.1.2. A fair number of warnings but no build problems. -- Noel

I've checked the documentation, and updated the beta site. So it looks fine to me. Daniel
