[Boost-users] compiling error using Boost with VC++ 6

Hi,

First a confession: I am new to VC++ AND to BOOST...I thought the best way
to learn both was to dive right in...and now I'm looking for a life-guard!

OK, so here's the problem: I have installed the Boost Library in its
default location (C:/Boost... ).

When I try to compile the code random_demo.cpp (link to the code:
http://www.boost.org/libs/random/random_demo.cpp), I get the following
error:

"fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file:
'boost/random/linear_congruential.hpp': No such file or directory
Error executing cl.exe."

Clicking on the error leads me to the following source of error in the code:
#include <boost/random/linear_congruential.hpp>

I have added the root Boost directory to the directory path:
(tools>options>directories > I added C:\Boost there for "include files")
So I am not sure why the compiler can't locate the file.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
samvit
