Sure, I use Ubuntu too on several machines at work. I built my boost 1.34 there as I wanted to play with something from the boost sandbox... | > Do you have our Boost 1.34 installed? | | Not yet. The Boost 1.34 release was exceptionally bad timing for us, | since we were finalizing release 0.8.0 when it was made. Instead of | installing 1.34 and restarting the tests (which I did suspect would | fail---see <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/159278>) | I chose not to further delay 0.8.0.

From my casual glance at it, boost doesn't seem to have change file locations so I am confused as to what could have caused this to break. [ Oh, and while I have you here: we have a really weird build bug with QL-Swig on a few more obscure arches. I didn't bug you with that as it build on all other version -- but see how 0.4.0 failed on a view. From the errors I see on the failed attempts, it looks to me as if gcc et al are to blame. We'll see. Source URLs are http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=419742 and http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?pkg=quantlib-swig ] Any thought on configure.ac for boost though ?
