I am having a hard time trying to compile it. I installed (from CentOS 
repos) boost:

    boost-1.33.1-10.el5
    boost-devel-1.33.1-10.el5

but I was getting:

    checking for Boost headers version >= 103400... no
    configure: error: cannot find Boost headers version >= 103400

Then, I saw that boost-devel files are in /usr/include/boost and I tried 
with:

    CXXFLAGS=-I/usr/include/boost ./configure --with-modules="gmysql ldap"

or with:

    CXXFLAGS=-I/usr/include ./configure --with-modules="gmysql ldap"

but I kept getting the same error. So, I downloaded the source package 
from boost website, extracted it and tried with (as suggested here: 
http://rtfm.powerdns.com/compiling-powerdns.html):

    CXXFLAGS=-I/root/boost/boost_1_46_1 ./configure
    --with-modules="gmysql ldap"

With it, I am getting:

    checking for Boost headers version >= 103400... yes
    checking for Boost's header version... 1_33_1
    checking boost/foreach.hpp usability... yes
    checking boost/foreach.hpp presence... no
    configure: WARNING: boost/foreach.hpp: accepted by the compiler,
    rejected by the preprocessor!
    configure: WARNING: boost/foreach.hpp: proceeding with the
    compiler's result
    checking for boost/foreach.hpp... yes
    checking for the toolset name used by Boost for g++... gcc41 -gcc
    checking boost/program_options.hpp usability... yes
    checking boost/program_options.hpp presence... yes
    checking for boost/program_options.hpp... yes
    checking for the Boost program_options library... no
    configure: error: cannot not find the flags to link with Boost
    program_options

Why the configure script didn't find the boost headers as installed by 
the native RPM package?
(See the package contents at 
http://pkgs.org/centos-5-rhel-5/centos-rhel-x86_64/boost-devel-1.33.1-10.el5.x86_64.rpm.html)

Why the source package didn't work either?

Please advise!

Note: I only have x86_64 packages installed in the box.

Thanks,
Nick
