Re: [Quantlib-users] Installation of QL in custom folder

[George S. <geo...@ao...>]

Hi,

Below is the output

% ls /Users/DDD/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox/QL_INSTALL

BOOST            QuantLib-1.32        QuantLib-1.32.tar.gz


BOOST is the folder where the Boost library is installed.

What output do you see from `ls 
/Users/DDD/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox/QL_INSTALL`?

If it is recognized as a valid directory then unfortunately I’m not sure what the problem could be.
