[scribus] Where to put boost?

[John]

John,

If you plan on building boost from source on your Slackware box, Eric 
Hammeleers, known as "alien" to Slackware afficionados, has written a very 
good buildscript for building boost. The script is available at 
http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/boost/build/. It puts boost into 
/usr/lib, which will work just fine with Scribus 1.3.5svn (not to mention any 
other apps you may find yourself using that require the boost libraries).

HTH.
