./configure not seeing/finding boost header files

boost compiler-construction fedora gearman

Trying to build gearman from the gearmand-0.33.tar.gz from Launchpad using bzr, on a Fedora 64 system.

doing the ./configure by tiself, as well as using the "-with-boost=/usr/include" param generates warnings an errors as the configure process can't seem to find/locate the boost header files.

we've removed/reinstalled the boost header files via "yum install boost*" as well

Any pointers will be tried!

Thanks

Just have dealt with this problem, installed gcc-c++ and that has resolved it
