[Boost-users] Problem compiling boost under gcc

Hi,

This is a followup to my previous message.  I must be doing something 
wrong, but I am unable to compile boost under gcc 3.2.2 on a Red Hat 
Linux machine (RH9 linux 2.4.24).  Note, I also tried gcc 2.95.3 with 
the same results.  If anyone has the time or the desire to help me out, 
it would be much appreciated.

Here is what I did to install:

First go to tools/build/jam_src and build jam:
   sh build.sh

Then cd back to the boost root dir, and install:
   tools/build/jam_src/bin.linuxx86/bjam  --sTOOLS=gcc 
--prefix=~/local/linux install

I get a lot of errors relating to the HardLink command.  (I am wondering 
if the problem might be caused by the bjam program.)  I checked the 
things I thought might be causing problems:  The target directory does 
exist, but the files are not getting copied into that directory (eg. by 
the FileClone command).  I have write permissions in the target directory.

I am attaching the output from the compile process.

Sincerely,
Daniel Huber
