    Robert - 2009-01-16

    I am installing Scribe on a Ubuntu 8.10 server.  When I do:

    ./bootstrap.sh --with-boost=/usr/local/boost

    I get an error and the bootstrap aborts.  The 10 lines (or so) of the output are:

    checking Checking thrift_home set to... /usr/local
    checking Checking jvm_lib set to... /usr/local/java/jre/lib/amd64/server
    checking Checking fb303_home set to... /usr/local
    checking Checking smc_home set to... /root/scribe-2.0/services/trunk/src
    checking Checking fb_home set to... /root/scribe-2.0/libfacebook
    checking for boostlib >= 1.36... yes
    checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
    checking whether the Boost::System library is available... yes
    checking whether the Boost::Filesystem library is available... yes
    configure: error: Could not link against  !

    What does the "Could not link against !" mean?  Thanks.

      Looks like this error is coming from one of the two autoconf macros in /aclocal that scribe uses to link with Boost.

      Can you try specifying the two boost libraries using --with-boost-system and --with-boost-filesystem?  Take a look at the example of these flags in the README.BUILD.
