Problem with installing boost library

Y.Wang
Hi guys,

I am trying to install boost library under MacOS. What I have done is:

- download boost_1_39_0.tar.bz2 and put it in the directory
/Users/YifanW/Documents/QuantLib/

- Run tar --bzip2 -xf /Users/YifanW/Documents/QuantLib/boost_1_39_0.tar.bz2

Then I got the folder "boost_1_39_0" in above directory.

- Get in folder boost_1_39_0

- run ./bootstrap.sh --prefix=PREFIX

- run ./bjam install

After a long time,

- I go to directory /Users/YifanW/Documents/QuantLib/QuantLib-0.9.7

- Run ./configure

I got the error message
"......checking for Boost development files... no
configure: error: Boost development files not found"

It seems that I failed to install the boost library. This is the first
time I install boost under a MacOS. And there is not very clear
instruction for me on boost website. Can anyone tell me if i made any
mistakes when i install boost. What should i do next?

Thanks

Sorry for the delay, I've been on vacation.

Where does the above install, and what?  The header files are probably
in /usr/local/include/boost-1_39/boost/*
If so, you'll have to run

./configure --with-boost-include=/usr/local/include/boost-1_39

to tell configure where to find them.
