Install Boost at Ubuntu

3.1 Basic Procedure
1.Get Boost; see sections 1 and 2 [Unix/Linux, Windows] of the Boost Getting Started Guide.
2.Get the bjam build driver. See section 5 [Unix/Linux, Windows] of the Boost Getting Started Guide.
3.cd into the libs/python/example/quickstart/ directory of your Boost installation, which contains a small example project.
4.Invoke bjam. Replace the “stage“ argument from the example invocation from section 5 of the Getting Started Guide with “test,“ to build all the test targets. Also add the argument “--verbose-test” to see the output generated by the tests when they are run.

On Windows, your bjam invocation might look something like:
C:\boost_1_34_0\…\quickstart> bjam toolset=msvc --verbose-test test

and on Unix variants, perhaps,
~/boost_1_34_0/…/quickstart$ bjam toolset=gcc --verbose-test test
