Let's assume you had extracted Boost compressed file to
/home/yourname/boost_1_36_0 (let's call it Boost_Root_Path).
1) Under Boost_Root_Path, were you able to find a "boost" directory tree
with various library header files? For compiling my C++ program, I will set
Boost_Root_Path as header files searching path
(-I/home/yourname/boost_1_36_0), while my program's code will include those
header files by specifying thing similar to the following line:
#include <boost/bind/bind.hpp>

2) Under Boost_Root_Path, did your Boost build produce a "stage/lib"
directory with library binary files? If yes, then you can specify it as your
library searching path (-L/home/yourname/boost_1_36_0/stage/lib).
