Boost with MacPort (cannot recognize library when compiling code)

[gundalav]

Hi,

I have sucessfully installed Boost with MacPort.
However when I tried compiling a code with this
header

#include <boost/lexical_cast.cpp> 

It says it cannot recognize the location.

MyCode.cc:6:34: error: boost/lexical_cast.hpp: No such file or directory

I've checked that it exist here:

/opt/local/include/boost/lexical_cast.hpp
./opt/local/var/macports/software/boost/1.37.0_0+darwin_9/opt/local/include/boost/lexical_cast.hpp

This probably isn't the problem, but you put ".cpp" instead of ".hpp".

Check to make sure that /opt/local/include is in your system include path.
