Do you have a file called "classification.hpp" anywhere on your system? What version of boost did you install? (It looks like you may need a -I flag to tell the compiler where boost/algorithm/string/classification.hpp is.)David Schwartz 2013-05-02T06:49:58.160

I don't know that much about arch linux, but it looks like you're installing boost-libs, which suggests that it only has the libraries. You need to install boost as well.
