Hi, all:    

I need to install boost library (/home/myname/boost_2010_6_8/boost_1_43_0).
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/more/getting_started/index.html

It has MPI library :

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/doc/html/mpi.html

After installing it, I compile some c++ program with calling for boost.MPI  class, the compiler cannot find the header files in the program even though I have included the boost path in the compile command.

example:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include </boost/mpi/environment.hpp>
#include <boost/mpi/communicator.hpp>
#include <iostream>
namespace mpi = boost::mpi;

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
  mpi::environment env(argc, argv);
  mpi::communicator world;
  std::cout << "I am process " << world.rank() << " of " << world.size()
            << "." << std::endl;
  return 0;
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

 mpic++ -o testp2p test_p2p.cpp I/home/myname/boost_2010_6_8/boost_1_43_0
g++: I/home/myname/boost_2010_6_8/boost_1_43_0: No such file or directory
test_p2p.cpp:7:38: error: /boost/mpi/environment.hpp: No such file or directory
test_p2p.cpp:11:38: error: boost/mpi/communicator.hpp: No such file or directory

Actually, I have installed these header files in the directory.

I find a possible reason:
 When I built the package, it tells me that :

-----------------------------------------------------------------
-bash-3.2$ ./bjam

The Boost C++ Libraries were successfully built!

The following directory should be added to compiler include paths:

    /lustre/jxding/boost_2010_6_8/boost_1_43_0

The following directory should be added to linker library paths:

    /lustre/jxding/boost_2010_6_8/boost_1_43_0/stage/lib
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It seems that I need to specify I need to use mpi for the bjam builder.

But, I have added  "using mpi ;" and  "using mpi : /opt/openmpi-gnu/bin/mpic++ ;" in the file
/home/myname/boost_2010_6_8/boost_1_43_0/user-config.jam.

I have also added it in the file
/home/myname/boost_2010_6_8/boost_1_43_0/tools/build/v2/user-config.jam.

But, I still got the same error. It seems that there is something wrong with the package ?
or the compiler cannot understand the "using mpi ;" in the user-config.jam ?

Any help is appreciated.

Jack
