Milestone:                        |   Component:  Building Boost
  Version:                        |    Severity:  Problem

----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
 When building boost 1.39.0, the the library files are installed to /lib
 rather than /usr/local/lib.

 After extracting the tarball and cd'ing to it, I do:
 ./bootstrap.sh
 ./bjam install

 This builds it and installs the headers to /usr/local/include but installs
 the libraries to /lib.
 According to ./bjam --help, The default prefix is /usr/local so the
 default libdir is /usr/local/lib. Explicitly setting this as ./bjam
 install --prefix=/usr/local doesn't fix the problem. However, explicitly
 setting the libdir with ./bjam install --libdir=/usr/local/lib causes it
 to work correctly.
