[Bohan Liu]

Dear all,

Anyone knows which C++ compiler should I use in Linux Ubuntu to build boost and QuantLib?

Best,

Bohan

g++ 4.3.2 that comes with Ubuntu 8.10 works fine

It's gcc, but you don't have to call it yourself.
For boost, see
<http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_40_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html>, section "easy build and install".
For quantlib, run

./configure
make

inside the QuantLib directory.

A couple of quick questions:

-- The distro (or rather the gcc maintainers) usually decide which gcc or g++
   to make a default; this is currently 4.3.3 on Ubuntu 9.04 and 4.3.4 on
   Debian testing. Why would you need to second-guess it?

-- QL binaries are available; so why not 'sudo apt-get install linquantlib0-dev'
   which gets you 0.9.7

-- Moreover, package sources are available, so if you keep a src entry in
   /etc/apt/sources.list you can even do 'sudo apt-get build-dep libquantlib0-dev'
   which would get you all requirements to be build the package
   automatically, dpkg / apt can even build the package for you.
