[Boost-users] newby problem: boost build problems under debian

Hi!

I try to build boost from source (boost-1.33.1 from sf.net) under debian
stable on x86.

In the first run I followed the "Getting Started" document but run into
problems. In a second round I tried out the following additionaly:

* I downloaded and extracted the sources (tar) to my BOOST_ROOT
* I built bjam according the "Building Boost.Jam" instructions:
  http://www.boost.org/tools/build/jam_src/index.html#building_bjam
  --> bjam seems ok to me
* In Step 4 before carrying out the install uncommented the ``using gcc ;``
  line in BOOST_ROOT/tools/build/v2/user-config.jam
* Step 5: In the BOOST_ROOT I tried to trigger install``bjam --v2 install``

Now I'm stuck here, googling around didn't help.

Any hints? Thanks.

Gregoire

P.S.: Everything I do I do as ordinary user. Do I need root priviledges?
