I've been trying to compile newsbeuter-2.3 on a Slackware 11.0
system. I think the problem is an #include <tr1/memory> line. I
have a "boost" package installed from slacky. Have tried
#include <boost/tr1/memory> but compiler can't find that either.

I get the following errors:

I'd fix that bit first. It's nearly always the first error that causes others.

the TR1 extensions are a relatively recent addition to the g++ library. I'm not sure which version of gcc is included in 11.0, but if its older than 4.3 you almost definitely need a newer g++.

I have gcc-3.4.6 which does not seem to have the TR1 library, which was why I was exploring "boost". I'm building a newer version of Boost-1.38 that should have the TR1 extensions, and that may take as long as 2-3 days. My current boost-1.34.1 does not seem to work eventhough the TR1 stuff is there.

Problem solved:

Compiled and installed a newer version of boost:
boost-1.38.0 from slackbuilds.org

Untared source:
Modified 3 files:

/include/regexmanager.h
/include/rssh.h
/rss/rsspp_internal.h

by replacing line:

#include <tr1/memory>

with

#include <boost/tr1/memory.hpp>

retared source
built package with src2pkg

I need this, but I downloaded boost 1.38.0 from slackbuilds.org and untarred it and there is no /include/ or /rss/ directory.

I also looked for the individual files with 'find' and couldn't find any of them. Any ideas, anyone?
