Oh thanks, I didn't do bjam install (didn't see it in any documentation?)
the boost documentation is very frustrating; I am trying to install it
manually, since I want to work 64-bit, and BoostPro only installs 32-bit
precompiled binaries. If anyone has complete instructions on how to setup
CGAL, beginning from boost and on to work with 64-bit, I'd be very grateful.

Amir.

I am not sure. The FindBoost.cmake shipped within CGAL most mostly from
CMake
(CGAL developers have tweaked it a bit, though). If I correclty read the
macro, the CMake macro FindBoost only search for *installed* Boost. Once you

have Boost compiled, you need to install it (use "bjam install"), so that
its
layout is correctly detected by the CMake macro.
