vowpal wabbit install

I hate boost

wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.60.0/boost_1_60_0.tar.gz
tar zxvf boost_1_60_0.tar.gz
bjam install --prefix=$[[HOME]]/local

vowpal wabbit

git clone https://github.com/JohnLangford/vowpal_wabbit.git
cd vowpal_wabbit
cp ~/local/lib/libboost_program_options.* ./vowpalwabbit/.libs/

EDIT autogen.sh as follows
line31. BOOST_DIR_ARG="--with-boost-libdir=$HOME/local/lib/"
sh autogen.sh --prefix=$HOME/local
make
make install
