So if I want to build boost and develop code that uses the boost libraries
I should use stage and not install? Is that correct?

Yes. Steven is referring to the source *tree*, i.e. the files of Boost<br>
laid out exactly as they come out of SVN. Usually this comes from an<br>
SVN working copy or a tarball. Install generally creates a copies the<br>
headers, built binaries, docs, etc. into standard system locations so<br>
that you can write code dependent on Boost without actually having a<br>
complete checkout of the Boost source.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>So if I \
