I agree - it wasn't clear to me from your original email though! Just wanted to clarify that.
Just out of curiousity, what platforms require work to get boost working (no rpms or prebuild installs)? Or is it just a matter on having not yet installed macports or the full boost binaries on something?
I think it's just our Suns and the Windows builds.
We should probably start assembling such instructions with the installation instructions (for example where to get macports or fink for macs).
It's certainly straightforward to insert such instructions into the relevant section of the manual.
