Trying to run the following:
I got some errors in cygwin so I decided to try out netbeans, and used the <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13291582/netbeans-ide-7-2-1-how-to-add-the-c-boost-library">following</a> as a guide. I added all links and the following for filesystem
as noted <a href="http://tabreziqbal.wordpress.com/2006/03/16/how-to-test-c-boost-installation/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>. I have run a separate test using
so I am not currently doubting that my boost is not installed correclty.
It seems weird to me that it is "file_system", so I also tried "filesystem" but to no avail.
When i hold
and click on
my netbeans brings up my
file so it seems okay (linked properly internally that it can "see" what I want it to see).

The solution to installing boost came in the following form:
1 - If you have any path variables that are being used for Visual Studio you should temporarily change the variable during installation. <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310519" rel="nofollow noreferrer">This is a good guide</a>. Once that is done, this is one step completed.
2 - Download and install MinGW. This is a very easy process and you can find the installer files <a href="http://www.mingw.org/wiki/InstallationHOWTOforMinGW" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>.
Once you have done these things (if you are in the same situation as me), you will now be able to properly install boost.
Horay!
Code:
#include<iostream>
#include<boost/filesystem/operations.hpp>
namespace bfs=boost::filesystem;
int main()
{
bfs::path p("second.cpp");
if(bfs::exists(p))
std::cout<<p.leaf()<<std::endl;
