What version of Boost is installed ? Where is boost/geometry ?

[Paul Blampspied]

I am using Lubuntu 12.04 (12.10 won't install).

I can't make out which Boost libraries are installed.  Synaptic clearly
shows libboost-all-dev is installed and the indicated version is 1.48.0.2.
 Perusing the libraries in /usr/lib shows libraries from 1.4.6.1.  I want
to use boost/geometry and this is not included in boost 1.46, but it IS in
1.48.  The installation from Synaptic does not seem to bring in Geometry,
so is it Boost 1.46 or Boost 1.48 ?

A second (related) question.  Does anybody know if the latest version of
Boost, 1.53 works in Lubuntu 12.04, or if there is a straightforward way of
getting the Geometry package.

regards.
