[Boost-users] boost 1.47.0 installation

Hello,

I am trying to install boost for the first time as part of rose compiler
installation. Here is what I did on a Linux machine:

downloaded, extracted boost 1.47.0
./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/home/usmda/rose/
boost/install2 --with-python-version=2.7
./bjam install -sGCC=gcc-4.4 -sGXX=g++-4.4
--prefix=/home/usmda/rose/boost/install2

Default gcc version is 4.7.1 [/usr/bin/g(cc|++)] on this machine so I
specify the gcc 4.4 [/usr/bin/g(cc|++)-4.4] for 2 reasons:
1) I need to use gcc 4.4 to compile rose compiler as well.
2) I read that gcc 4.7.1 disables boost threading support so that's why I
want to use gcc 4.4 but specifying -sGCC and -sGXX didn't help as still I
guess it uses gcc-4.7.1 (as shown in log below).*
