Including Boost library

have you included boost in your compiler's header search path?

That's not where they should be. I suggest you install boost properly using the boostpro packages and then set up your include paths.

how about

#include "boost/algorithm/string.hpp"

When i use the installer and have the files located under program files/boost and include them i get an access denied error message.

What version of Windows/Visual Studio are you using? Do you have the most up-to-date service packs for Visual Studio (there are some issues with Vista/Windows 7 that require an update to work properly)?

I presume if you just open one of the header files in notepad you can?

I'm using VS2010. I also can't create new C++ projects without getting errors and VS crashing. I'll check the service packs.

Installing VS2010 SP1 didn't help


When I use

#include "boost/filesystem.hpp"

I get,

      1      IntelliSense: cannot open source file "boost/config.hpp"      c:\users\null\documents\visual c++ projects\clientsocket\boost\filesystem.hpp      15      1      ServerSocket

looks like it can load filesystem.hpp but can't find the dependencies. I've tried editing the includes in the other files by removing a slash or adding a slash and then it can load them but I do not want to have to do this.

This did the trick
