36        The library consists of include files only, hence there is no
37        installation procedure. The <code class="literal">boost</code> include directory
38        must be on the include path.
39        There are a number of include files that give different functionality:

70        Any other header files in the package are for internal use.
71        Additionally, the library depends on two other Boost Libraries, the
72        <span class="emphasis"><em>Tuple</em></span>[<a href="../lambda.html#cit:boost::tuple" title="[tuple]"><span class="abbrev">tuple</span></a>] and the <span class="emphasis"><em>type_traits</em></span>[<a href="../lambda.html#cit:boost::type_traits" title="[type_traits]"><span class="abbrev">type_traits</span></a>] libraries, and on the <code class="filename">boost/ref.hpp</code> header.
73      </p>
74<p>
75        All definitions are placed in the namespace <code class="literal">boost::lambda</code> and its subnamespaces.
