Hello

I am new to boost.

In my RHEL linux (no root permission), my program does not find boost installation and says:

*** Please install package libboost-filesystem to /home/myself/folder

*** Please install package libboost-system to /home/myself/folder

I installed latest boost using these instructions.

./bootstrap.sh ----with-libraries=filesystem,system --prefix=/home/myself/folder

./bjam install

Can you tell, what is wrong I am doing and anything to add in include path etc.

My paths:

echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

/home/myself/folder/lib:/home/myself/ddrive/test/boost_1_49_0/stage/lib

echo $CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH

/home/myself/folder/include/

My program has makefile:

LD_LIBS +=  -lboost_filesystem -lboost_system (and others)

Thanks and Regards

LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the env variable for the linker, you must also set the

LIBRARY_PATH for running a programm. A program searches the LIBRARY_PATH

first for the libraries. The linker does not search the LIBRARY_PATH, it uses the

LD_LIBRARY_PATH
