Hi, I'm installing Boost 1.39 on Fedora 10 64bit (gcc 4.3.2) with the following command:

$ ./bootstrip.sh --prefix=/home/marco/sys $ ./bjam install

The installation process showed a lot of error like this:

--- [error_snip] --- common.copy /lib/libboost_math_tr1f-gcc43-mt-1_39.so.1.39.0 cp: cannot create regular file `/lib/libboost_math_tr1f-gcc43-mt-1_39.so.1.39.0': Permission denied

Seems like a bug :-( I'll see what we can do.

I have the same problem on Ubuntu 8.10 32bits with the following command: $ ./bootstrip.sh --prefix=$HOME/usr/ $ ./bjam install

Do there is a workaround? for example, can I do something like that: $ cp **/*.{a,so} $HOME/usr/lib/

As I suggested in my email above, a possible workaround (that works for me) is by specifying the "--libdir" option, that is: $ ./bootstrap.sh --prefix=$HOME/usr --libdir=$HOME/usr/lib $ ./bjam install Another workaround is by setting by hand the libdir properties in the file "project-config.jam", just after issuing the bootstrap.sh command and before the bjam one.
