hello Volodya,

could you, please, be a bit more precise? in which file do I have to change
what and where?

I can take any sample project (which uses boost and not just the
headerfiles, e.g.#include <boost/lambda/lambda.hpp>) and I still get the
same error msg.

for the installation I followed this
guide<http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_36_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html>
mtec-hg-docking-1-dhcp-232:boost_1_36_0 JuWie$ ./configure
-n Building Boost.Jam with toolset darwin...

-n Detecting Python version...

not found.

mtec-hg-docking-1-dhcp-232:boost_1_36_0 JuWie$ sudo make install
Password:
./tools/jam/src/bin.macosxx86/bjam  --user-config=user-config.jam
--prefix=/usr/local --exec-prefix=/usr/local --libdir=/usr/local/lib
--includedir=/usr/local/include  install

and I set the env variable
mtec-hg-docking-1-dhcp-232:include JuWie$
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/:${DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH}
mtec-hg-docking-1-dhcp-232:include JuWie$ export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

how do I find out about the timestamp of the boost library which I am using?
I downloaded it yesterday at 7:20 PM from this
page<http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7586&package_id=8041&release_id=619445>and
the folder boost_1_36_0 was created on the 14 Aug at 2:40 PM. does
this
answer your question?
