when entering this line
tar xzvf boost_1_60_0.tar.gz
getting
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
running on Ubuntu ( last version)
What should I do wrong?

Something wrong with the link/sourceforge in the previous step, the file is meant to be 75-85MB big not 200k. Google for " boost_1_60_0.tar.gz " and download it from a mirror and place in the same folder as the guide expects it.

thanks. I downloaded again. Now, everything fine.

Same issue, apparently sourceforge was down for a while, but all is well now!
