I created the boost libraries and tried the boost.actor configure again 
and it worked.  However, the subsequent make failed because compiler
could not find memcmp, as shown by the terminal session at the end of
this post.  Note that I did do a `git diff` which showed the only'
difference was in the ./configure.  Also, there were several
warnings.

Is there something I should do to get the make to work?

TIA.

-regards,
Larry
