Assuming you installed boost yourself cf. http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_61_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html, after running bootstrap.sh, you would run

    ./b2 install 

This is not enough for graph-tool, and to install iostreams as well, you would run

    ./b2 install --with-iostreams

When installing graph-tool on CentOS 7, after this I also had to install --with-coroutine, and a few more (which I do not remember). 

The above answer is somewhat generic, but seeing that you use Ubuntu, it may be that your package manager allows you to do this more easily, for example using a command like

    sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev

Good luck!

Disclaimer: I am a Linux noob and I don't know anything about C++.

I'm trying to configure graph-tool on Ubuntu 16.04 with Python 3.5.1. I have
installed all of the prerequisites, and I ran  Everything worked up until I
got this error:

I tried using the fix suggested  here
<http://main-discussion-list-for-the-graph-tool-project.982480.n3.nabble.com/Compiling-v1-13-dev-configure-error-No-usable-boost-iostreams-found-td4026438.html#a4026443>
, but I got the same error when I ran
which is the path I got from my Boost installation


I am not sure how to fix this and would really appreciate if someone who
knows more about Linux and graph-tool could help me.
