./configure not seeing/finding boost header files

Question

Trying to build gearman from the gearmand-0.33.tar.gz from Launchpad using bzr, on a Fedora 64 system.

doing the ./configure by tiself, as well as using the "-with-boost=/usr/include" param generates warnings an errors as the configure process can't seem to find/locate the boost header files.

we've removed/reinstalled the boost header files via "yum install boost*" as well

Any pointers will be tried!

Thanks

Solution 1

Just have dealt with this problem, installed gcc-c++ and that has resolved it

Solution 2

The correct option is probably --with-boost, you should check that with ./configure -h.

Also, check whether the directory /usr/include/boost exists, because that seems to be what it's looking for.

Furthermore, make sure you shouldn't be using --with-boost-include=/usr/include (and maybe also --with-boost-libs (or -lib)).
