    <p>I am using autoconf to detect boost libraries, with the support of the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/ax_boost_base.html" rel="noreferrer">autoconf-archive macros</a> and they work fine with system-wide boost libraries, but fail if I manually compile boost in my home directory:</p> <pre><code>sb@stephane:~/devel/spectra2$ ./configure --with-boost=/home/sb/local/ checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p checking for gawk... no checking for mawk... mawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking for style of include used by make... GNU checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of executables... checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for gcc option to accept ISO C89... none needed checking dependency style of gcc... gcc3 checking for library containing strerror... none required checking for g++... g++ checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... yes checking whether g++ accepts -g... yes checking dependency style of g++... gcc3 checking for boostlib &gt;= 1.31.0... yes checking whether the Boost::Program_Options library is available... yes checking for exit in -lboost_program_options... yes checking whether the Boost::Filesystem library is available... yes checking for exit in -lboost_filesystem... no checking for exit in -lboost_filesystem... (cached) no checking for exit in -lboost_filesystem... (cached) no configure: error: Could not link against boost_filesystem ! </code></pre> <p>As you can see, it detects some libraries fine, but it fails with boost-filesystem. These are the contents of ~/local/lib:</p> <pre><code>sb@stephane:~$ ls -1 /home/sb/local/lib/ libboost_filesystem.a libboost_filesystem.so libboost_filesystem.so.1.42.0 libboost_program_options.a libboost_program_options.so libboost_program_options.so.1.42.0 libboost_system.a libboost_system.so libboost_system.so.1.42.0 libboost_thread.a libboost_thread.so libboost_thread.so.1.42.0 </code></pre> <p>So the library is there. I tried with both boost-1.39 and boost-1.42 with no different result, any idea why is this happening? Did I forget about something?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
