So, I’m trying to build and install our custom mix of boost libraries, and I’m following the directions on the wiki without isssue, up to the point of actual install of the completed binaries. When I give the command my commrades have left behind for me, I kept getting a bunch of errors about “…skipped…lack of directory-grist”. And none of the google results seem to be applicable.
Eventually it dawns on me that I’m running the install command as a non-root user, who of course, has no permissions to write to /usr/local/…
d’oh.
