Hi All,

I am trying to build boost and I am not familiar with the b2 tool. In 
case it matters, I am on fedora linux using the gnu gcc tools.

How do I effectively do the following with the boost build tool:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/boost-1.51.0 --disable-shared
make && make install

Thanks!
Tim
