I need the boost libraries in order to compile a new application.  I
installed the boost1.31 package from the fink release, using fink
install boost 1.31 without any trouble, but when I then tried to
configure the dependent application, it found that the
boost/numeric/ublas/matrix.hpp library was unusable.  On the advice of
the boost-users list, I then installed boost 1.32, using the prebuilt
executable for Darwin available on the boost web site.  The install
hung several times creating the serialization libraries, so I
installed using the tag --without-serialization, and completed the
install successfully that way.  However, I still get an error when I
configure the dependent package, saying that the matrix.hpp library is
unusable.  The config.log says:

Higher in the config.log is another error (unrelated?) that doesn't
seem to cause any trouble:


gcc -E -I/sw/include conftest.c

configure:15096:28: ac_nonexistent.h: No such file or directory

configure:15085: $? = 1

configure: failed program was:

Here's the info on my gcc.  What is wrong with it ?  And how can I fix
it?
