According to Boost download instructions for Linux http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html I should extract the Boost library to some directory on my computer. I am working with Ubuntu, Eclipse and CDT. What is right directory to install Boost? Somewhere in /usr or in my home directory?
Boost is also available in the Ubuntu repositories -- for example,
sudo apt-get install libboost1.40-dev
will install the development files for boost. This is probably the best option if you don't need the absolute most recent version (looks like the latest available on Ubuntu 9.10 is 1.40).
