HI, I have Ubuntu 13.10 with a Processor Intel Pentium CPU P6100 2.00GHz x 2. I download the boost library for linux, extract and install boostrap.sh. When I try to do ./b2 on terminal, the result is this: MPI auto-detection failed: unknown wrapper compiler mpic++ Please report this error to the Boost mailing list: http://www.boost.org You will need to manually configure MPI support. /home/alexandra/boost_1_55_0/tools/build/v2/tools/gcc.jam:148: in gcc.init from module gcc error: toolset gcc initialization: error: no command provided, default command 'g++' not found error: initialized from project-config.jam:12 /home/alexandra/boost_1_55_0/tools/build/v2/build/toolset.jam:41: in toolset.using from module toolset /home/alexandra/boost_1_55_0/tools/build/v2/build/project.jam:1007: in using from module project-rules project-config.jam:12: in modules.load from module project-config /home/alexandra/boost_1_55_0/tools/build/v2/build-system.jam:249: in load-config from module build-system /home/alexandra/boost_1_55_0/tools/build/v2/build-system.jam:412: in load-configuration-files from module build-system /home/alexandra/boost_1_55_0/tools/build/v2/build-system.jam:524: in load from module build-system /home/alexandra/boost_1_55_0/tools/build/v2/kernel/modules.jam:289: in import from module modules /home/alexandra/boost_1_55_0/tools/build/v2/kernel/bootstrap.jam:139: in boost-build from module /home/alexandra/boost_1_55_0/boost-build.jam:17: in module scope from module On user-config.jam i wrote # ------------------ # MPI configuration. # ------------------ using mpi ; in the final line.
