I'm trying to figure out how to use Boost? For example, I'd like to
use the is_equal function to test two strings but I can't figure out
exactly what to include or how to call the method.

http://www.boost.org/doc/html/boost/.../is_equal.html

I know the boost libraries are installed.

boost::is_equal test;

std::string s1("Plop");
std::string s2("Plop");

if (test(s1,s2))
{
std::cout << "Equal\n";
}

Could you please give a small program and possible errors that you got
during the compile phase.

1st guess on your input is : did you set -I and -l options when
compiling the program?

If you send the above mentioned, anyone familiar with boost will
direct you to the right location,

Rgds,

This worked! Thanks so much. Can you explain what doing
boost::is_equal test; does? I was trying to call
boost::is_equal(s1,s2) directly.
