[Boost-users] Re: installing boost

You do need to define BOOST_ROOT and BOOST_BUILD_PATH.
BOOST_ROOT should point to the top of the boost directory tree.  This is 
the directory that has boost and libs subdirectories.
BOOST_BUILD_PATH should be "$BOOST_ROOT/tools/build/v1"

Don't forget to export your environment variable.
