This is what I'm looking at:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_45_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html
.

Yes, I have seen that recommendation. However, it also says, "If
you're using a compiler other than your system's default, you'll need
to use Boost.Build to create binaries." in section 5.2. As using a
compiler other than my system's default is exactly my case, I
understood it that I should use instructions in section 5.2 instead of
those in 5.1. Did I misunderstand this part?
