How to determine the Boost version on a system?

Question

Is there a quick way to determine the version of the Boost C++ libraries on a system?

Answer 1

Boost installed on OS X using homebrew has desired version.hpp file in /usr/local/Cellar/boost//include/boost/version.hpp (note, that the version is already mentioned in path).

I guess the fastest way to determine version on any UNIX-like system will be to search for boost in /usr:

find /usr -name "boost"
