https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/3359 <p> I have just compiled boost from sources and while everything went fine, specifying distinct prefix and exec-prefix options did not work. Specifically, while the build phase completed without errors and the installation of the header files was no problem, during installation of the libraries, links to /lib/ were attempted, rather than honouring the exec-prefix. </p> <p> Is this by design (linking to /lib/) or a bug? </p> <p> Best regards, Dr Kreil. </p> en-us /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/3359 Trac 1.4.3 Vladimir Prus Thu, 20 Aug 2009 12:11:38 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/3359#comment:2 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/3359#comment:2 <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">new</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">closed</span> </li> <li><strong>resolution</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">fixed</span> </li> </ul> <p> Lacking further details, I believe this is an known problem with 1.39, which was subsequently fixed. </p> Ticket
