Hi Lukas,

I'm not sure why the third option didn't work. But maybe I can help with
the first option. Boost likes to create a subdirectory with its version
number for the include files. That's not exactly what normal software
packages do, so if this is the case in your local boost installation you
can create a symlink called "boost" such that it points to the directory
that actually holds the header files (uhm, I hope that's clear?).

Thus spake lukas vanelderen (lukasvanelderen at gmail.com):

Try --with-boost-incpath=/home/lukas/Software/boost_1_39_0 instead.
If that doesn't work, I'll have a closer look.

Cheers,
