Hi,

I second Christian's request. We got into some trouble installing Moses on our cluster because of this naming scheme. It would be great to switch to a standard library layout for Boost.

Cheers,

Pierre

> Moses currently requires installing the Boost libraries with the --layout=tagged option. This library naming scheme has been non-standard on Unix-like systems since Boost 1.40.0. It forces you to use special options when installing Boost, and it can lead to trouble if you then try to link Moses against other software that prefers a standard installation - effectively you have to install Boost twice to make everybody happy.
