I want to install boost-devel 1.59 in centos7, but the default repo has only 1.53, so I have to compile it from the source code. I have download 1.59 from web page, and use ./bootstrap.sh and ./b2 install to install the boost 1.59. But when I want install other packages such as CGAL-devel, it tells me that I donnot install boost-devel 1.59, so I wonder how to install boost-devel? Thanks. Building from source and installing will not automatically tell your package manager that boost is installed. However it is really hard to tell without any more detail about the error message. If it is ‘sensing installation' by looking for the Boost header files in modular-boost/boost/ then your will need to run

./b2 headers

as well. But perhaps you have done this already (though you didn’t say so). Paul --- Paul A. Bristow Prizet Farmhouse Kendal UK LA8 8AB +44 (0) 1539 561830
