[Boost-users] Using Boost after installation

I installed Boost 1.32 to VS 2003 and MINGW 3.4.2 (got 80 failures for 
the second), and now I am trying to use it with both but the compiler's 
can't find the boost header files by their own. For example the source code:

#include <boost/static_assert.hpp>

int main()
{
    int i=1;
   
    BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(i==1);
}
   

produces:

C:\c>g++ temp.cpp -o temp.exe
temp.cpp:1:35: boost/static_assert.hpp: No such file or directory
temp.cpp: In function `int main()':
temp.cpp:7: error: `BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT' undeclared (first use this 
function)
temp.cpp:7: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for 
each fu
nction it appears in.)

C:\c>cl /EHsc temp.cpp

temp.cpp
temp.cpp(1) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 
'boost/static_assert.
hpp': No such file or directory

C:\c>

I tried everything I could think like adding the c:\Boost folder and 
subfolders in PATH environment variable, or explicitly #include the file 
with its entire path,  with no result.

What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance.
