https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/10559 <p> Many of the untarred directories in the tar file have the incorrect following permissions: drwx------ </p> <p> where group and other permissions are absent, please fix with a recursive chmod to all found directories (find -type d -exec chmod -R a+rx {} \;) to have group and other permissions resulting in the following ls -l drwxr-xr-x </p> <p> Without that, boost will not install and has many permissions errors. Thanks. </p> en-us /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/10559 Trac 1.4.3
