Hi All ,

while compiling the following code my compiler gives me error message
" boost/smart_ptr.h: No such file or directory" . do i need to give
some comiplation option for it ...such as where to find header file

> g++ -g file.cc

#include<iostream>
#include "boost/smart_ptr.h"
using namespace std;

class A
{
int a,b;
public :
void printf()const
{ cout<<" value of a "<<a <<"Value of b "<<b <<endl ;}
};

int main()
{
boost::shared_ptr< A > sample(new A);
printf("The Sample now has %i references\n", sample.use_count());

boost::shared_ptr< A > sample2 = sample;
printf("The Sample now has %i references\n", sample.use_count());

sample.reset();
printf("The Sample now has %i references\n", sample2.use_count());

return 0;
}

Thanks
Pallav Singh

Try: #include <boost/smart_ptr.hpp>

You may need to add the -I option with the path where your boost
library is installed, if not already present in the INCLUDE
environment
variable.

That shouldn't change anything. The standard says that when
using #include "...", if the search fails, the directive is
reprocessed as if it were #include <...>.

He definitely needs to tell the compiler where to look for the
headers, if they aren't installed in the "standard places".
What the standard places are, of course, depends on the
compiler; for g++, it's derived from where the compiler itself
is installed, with the adjunction (at least under Unix) of
"/usr/include", and maybe "/usr/local/include".

..hpp rather than .h might make the difference..

Using the correct name of the file is a requirement, yes.
I'd missed that you'd changed the name of the file, as well as
changing the form from "..." to <...>. (And generally, if Boost
is correctly installed, you probably should consider it part of
the "implementation", so <...> would be more appropriate.)
