Yes -- on the page you link to, it says "If you're using a compiler other
than your system's default, you'll need to use
Boost.Build<http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_47_0/tools/build/index.html>
 to create binaries."
I'm using clang (because that's the most up-to-date C++ compiler I've been
able to install on my machine), so I need to build the binaries, I guess?
