I thought there was now an option the boost build system to NOT add
all the "very specific" naming of each library which is now the
default. There is a way to turn that back on. You will have to search
through the boost-build docs for that info.

Hi all,
I ran into a problem with FindBoost where it fails to find the correct
version of a component library. The cause is pretty clear to me.
There's a system-wide (rather old) version of Boost installed and
there's my latest-greatest version of Boost. The FindBoost macro
searches for a library using rather specific names first and generic
names last. These are all listed under NAMES. FIND_LIBRARY() tries to
find each name in all paths specified under PATHS.
Problem is that (for reasons I do not really know) the very specific
library name is not present in my latest-greatest directory, but it IS
present in /usr/lib.
This problem is closely related to a post on this list a couple of
months ago: http://www.mail-archive.com/cmake@cmake.org/msg24565.html
Unfortunately, no-one ever replied to that post.
Basically, the author of that post suggested to turn the loop in
cmFindLibraryCommand::FindNormalLibrary() inside out: i.e.
for(path in paths)
{
for(name in names)
{
find name in path;
if found return name;
}
}
Any thoughts on this?
Best regards,
Marcel Loose.
