[cpp-netlib-devel] what version of boost and cpp-netlib should I use?

[Stéphane C. <ste...@gm...>]

Trying to use cpp-netlib for the first time.  Development environment (I
don't get to control this) is Ubuntu 10.04.

Default boost in Ubuntu 10.04 is 1.40, which doesn't work for cpp-netlib.
Immediately dies during compilation of my test app due to
boost/thread/future.hpp not existing.

That brought me to boost v1.42 from
https://launchpad.net/~gezakovacs/+archive/boost.

This one doesn't work due to boost/range/algorithm/transform.hpp not
existing, and dozens of things like:
/usr/include/boost/thread/future.hpp:93: error: ‘mutex’ in namespace ‘boost’
does not name a type
/usr/include/boost/thread/future.hpp:94: error: ‘condition_variable’ in
namespace ‘boost’ does not name a type
/usr/include/boost/thread/future.hpp:95: error: ‘condition_variable_any’ is
not a member of ‘boost’

I'm in the process of figuring out how to get boost 1.45 installed.  How can
I find out what minimum version of boost is required for cpp-netlib?

And if I was to downgrade cpp-netlib to something earlier than 0.8.1, do I
have a chance of getting cpp-netlib working with boost 1.42?
