I want to describe how i made it to set up the Geneva library on a Debian lenny system.

The first step you need to get the Geneva lib into ops is to set up the C++ boost library at least in version 1.36. How to do that is the topic of a dedicated article: Boost setup for Debian lenny.

Next thing to do is to get the Geneva sources. You can either download it with your browser from http://sourceforge.net/projects/genevaopt/ or use svn to get the latest dev version.

Here is a description how you can set up the C++ boost library for a Debian lenny system. Sure, you could just use aptitude to install the lenny boost pachage. The trick is that you need sometimes (e.g. for the GENEVA library) the latest or a newer version then that, which is packed for lenny.

I will describe the method how i have done that and which i think is the most convenient one.

This category wants to deal with the ROOT analysis framework.
