Boost c++ library install

Question

I am not familiar with the usual build technique in linux I am using boost c++ library. Can any body guide me in installing and configuring boost c++ library. Thanks in adva

Answer 1

My environment is Linux Fedora 15. On it, one can easily install boost by typing,

$ yum install boost-devel

After installation, you'll find boost under /usr/include/boost/.

However, if you run,

$yum install boost

you'll only find .so of boost under /usr/lib/, like /usr/lib/libboost_timer.so.1.48.0.
