Dear Phillip & All:

Thank you for your post on the 19th Nov. in regards to this issue.  
Alas, I have been sick, since, and have not been able to reply.  Due to 
my problems getting Boost up and running (...or not as the case may 
be...) I had already spent several person-hours with the page you refer 
too.  Indeed, as my previous email states I AM running Eclipse (...and 
that is new for me too...) with CDT 4.

I have now reviewed that page, yet again, and at some length without 
deriving further enlightenment.  I have also spent several more hours - 
vainly - attempting to persuade my IDE to include boost libraries.

Running gcc -print-search-dirs, shows that gcc is NOT finding any boost 
libraries.  My IDE sees the boost files but, no surprise I am not 
getting them included - no matter what or where I add paths.

My console output is:

**** Build of configuration Debug for project BoostTest ****

If anyone is using the Eclipse platform with CDT 4, I could sorely use a 
pointer or two.  I cannot find anywhere (that works!) to change the way 
the linker finds libraries.

Help, please.

Best,
