Hi, I'm trying to compile the boost serialization library on a Red Hat machine. The OS version and gcc version are given below.... bash-2.05$ cat /proc/version Linux version 2.4.7-10 (bhcompile@stripples.devel.redhat.com) (gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-98)) #1 Thu Sep 6 17:27:27 EDT 2001 bash-2.05$ gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/specs gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-98) bash-2.05$ Now, I when I use bjam the following errors are thrown out. I did not let bjam run completely, but it's no use. please help. ./bjam "-sTOOLS=gcc" stage ...found 983 targets... ...using 30 temp targets... ...updating 108 targets... ...using
