Boost!

Finally get myself Boost now that I have time to tinker again. Anyways, I'm sticking it on my Linux VM, performing an aptitude search leads to believe I want the libboost-all-dev package, is this correct? EDIT: As I haven't done much serious programming on Linux, I'm not sure where the best place to save the library would be, either. I've read that /usr/local is the place to use? | |

What distro are you using? If it's debian based then libboost-all-dev is what you want if you want *everything*, there are individual packages like libboost-thread-dev, libboost-asio-dev, etc...I usually just install the entire thing, personally. If you're using your package manager to install it (which you should be), it'll probably put everything in the "right" place for you which I think is /usr/lib. | |

I just wget-ed the package off sourceforge. Currently I'm in my backtrack VM and unpacked it in /usr/local/boost_x_x_x Should I continue with this or restart with the package manager? | |
