title: Boost is installed where on my Ubuntu?
body: <p>I download Boost 1.54 tar from Boost website and then followed the instructions as detailed here [1].</p>
  
  <p>In particular, I wanted to install my boost library in the folder </p>
  
  <pre><code>$HOME/BOOST
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>using this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ ./bootstrap.sh --prefix=$HOME/BOOST
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But after the installation, this folder is still empty. Why is that?</p>
  
  <p>P.S.: Boost installation at the end said:</p>
  
  <pre><code>common.copy stage/lib/libboost_wave.a
  ...failed updating 62 targets...
  ...skipped 18 targets...
  ...updated 1004 targets...
  </code></pre>
