installing boost on ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix

Hi,

After setting up boost library on my winxp machine, i wanted to install boost on my new netbook running ubuntu netbook remix.

I tried building the library from source as i did on windows but kept running on to some build errors.

Then i went to the traditional way to install from ubuntu packages, but there were some unmet dependency problem which i was unable to solve, then after a bit of searching around i got the exact package name to download.

apt-get install libboost-dev libboost-doc

This did the trick, but it installed the 1.4.2 version of the boost library ,current version being 1.4.6.

Will trying building some cpp code and get back with the results.

Regards,
Ishan
