[Libmesh-users] problem with ./configure

[Harry P. <har...@gm...>]

Hello fellow libmesh users!,

I am trying to configure libmesh 1.3.0.
When I run ./configure I get the error:
checking for Boost headers version >= 1.47.0... yes

 I thought the problem may have had to do with the installation of mpich
but I reinstalled it and the problem persists. I am wondering if the
problem is with libmesh, boost, or something else.

I have read over some of the entries relating to this problem, and they did
not help, although there are alot of entries so if someone has already
solved this problem and you can point me in the direction of their post,
that also works.

Thanks,
