I need to use Python's graph-tool on a RHEL6 server. The system administrator has not been able to install the boost library from a repository that he trusts (or whatever), so has installed it at
/usr/local/boost_1_59_0/
Inside are two directories, boost/ and libs/ which I am taking to be the header and libs directories.
I downloaded the source:
wget http://downloads.skewed.de/graph-tool/graph-tool-2.2.44.tar.bz2
And unpacking that, I tried:
env CPPFLAGS='-I/home/foo/sw/include' LDFLAGS='-L/home/foo/sw/lib/' ./configure
but that didn't give any different result than "./configure" by itself. It says:
checking for boostlib >= 1.53.0... configure: error: We could not detect the boost libraries (version 1.53 or higher). If you have a staged boost library (still not installed) please specify $BOOST_ROOT in your environment and do not give a PATH to --with-boost option. If you are sure you have boost installed, then check your version number looking in . See http://randspringer.de/boost for more documentation.
I also tried:
\env BOOST_ROOT='/usr/local/boost_1_59_0' CPPFLAGS='-I/usr/local/boost_1_59_0/boost' LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/boost_1_59_0/libs/'
./configure
but that got the same.
I also tried:
./configure --with-boost-libdir=/usr/local/boost_1_59_0/libs/ --with-boost=/usr/local/boost_1_59_0
I obviously don't know what I'm doing. Is this enough to see what I've done wrong?
Update:
gcc version:
gcc (GCC) 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-11)
Looking at config.log from the graph-tool's failed configure, I find the following towards the end:

As is stated in the website (https://graph-tool.skewed.de/download), you need GCC 4.8 or above to compile graph-tool, since it is written in C++11. GCC 4.4 is not supported.
