Hi John,

I have an up to date copy of boost trunk on a new machine (u233)  
running RHEL 6.0 kernel (Santiago).  You can see the results on the  
trunk page under Ornl-intel-11.1.064.  For some reason the configure  
script is having trouble locating the boost main tree.  I tried adding  
--with-boost=... to no avail.  Is this a recent problem or perhaps  
this is the first attempt under 6.0?

Any ideas?

[bkn_at_u233 config]$ ./configure
*** ./configure: boost configuration utility ***

Please stand by while exploring compiler capabilities...
Be patient - this could take some time...

Note that this test script only gives an approximate
configuration - you will need to test the results carefully
using the boost regression test suite before using the results.

   Specify its location by the --with-boost option.
