Milestone:  Boost 1.40.0              |   Component:  Building Boost
  Version:  Boost 1.39.0              |    Severity:  Problem       
 Keywords:  exec-prefix installation  |  
--------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
 I have just compiled boost from sources and while everything went fine,
 specifying distinct prefix and exec-prefix options did not work.
 Specifically, while the build phase completed without errors and the
 installation of the header files was no problem, during installation of
 the libraries, links to /lib/ were attempted, rather than honouring the
 exec-prefix.

 Is this by design (linking to /lib/) or a bug?

 Best regards,
 Dr Kreil.
