[Pdns-users] Building the latest version from source...

[bert hubert]

btw, build with: 
 CXXFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include ./configure  

FreeBSD decides to put Boost in /usr/local/include. Make sure to install the
boost library!

I just tested, the tar.gz just released build just fine on freebsd 5.4.

Good luck!
