Configuring boost 1_49_0 on CodeBlocks under linux

[Maelstorm]

Hi, I have tried for hours but I cannot get Codeblocks to link with my boost libraries (/usr/include/boost_1_49_0/boost) the reason being that I am a complete novice. I have tried the global variable settings, compiler , linker and environmental variables by passing this path wherever it seemed logical but it has not worked. All available tutorials on web teach about setting it on Windows, so I have come here after several hours' search. Would appreciate if someone could make it really simple for me. Thanks
