If this is the problem Paulianna is having, then I would say two better solutions would be adding '-I/usr/include/boost-1_33_1' to CFLAGS or creating a symbolic link from '/usr/include/boost' to '/usr/include/boost-1_33_1'. But I agree that your solution would indeed work, though it would be less maintainable and would take up more disk space. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
