Thanks. If I am in the Boost root dir, it works exactly the same, except
it builds more, right? I was missing the -sPYTHON_VERSION and the
-sBUILD=release, not sure what the latter does. But I still don't get
dynamically linkable .so's. (No output from "find ../../.. | grep so$")
This isn't too urgent though. The 2.1 was more important to me.

What is the difference between gcc and gcc-stlport?

Thanks,
