[Boost-users] boost1.32

I need the boost libraries in order to compile a new application.  I  
installed the boost1.31 package from the fink release, using fink  
install boost 1.31 without any trouble, but when I then tried to  
configure the dependent application, it found that the  
boost/numeric/ublas/matrix.hpp library was unusable.  On the advice of  
the boost-users list, I then installed boost 1.32, using the prebuilt  
executable for Darwin available on the boost web site.  The install  
hung several times creating the serialization libraries, so I installed  
using the tag --without-serialization, and completed the install  
successfully that way.  However, I still get an error when I configure  
the dependent package, saying that the matrix.hpp library is unusable.   
The config.log says:

  checking for boost/numeric/ublas/matrix.hpp usability...

Higher in the config.log is another error (unrelated?) that doesn't  
seem to cause any trouble:

gcc -E -I/sw/include conftest.c
configure:15096:28: ac_nonexistent.h: No such file or directory
configure:15085: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
| #line 15070 "configure"
| /* confdefs.h.  */

Here's the info on my gcc.  What is wrong with it ?  And how can I fix  
it?

  gcc -v </dev/null >&5

Thanks!
