I have install this driver for a long time, but failed. There is some failed infomation as following
# scons

I have installed the boost v1.52, scons v2.2.0, and I want to install the mongodb C++ driver v2.2. Any Ideas? thanks very much.
The LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable affects where libraries are located at runtime, not at link time. The client driver SConstruct file provides an option --extrapath, which allows you to provide additional library search paths.
Try running:
scons --extrapath=/usr/local
to see if it will pick up boost libraries that you have installed in /usr/local.
