I am following instructions at http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/doc/html/mpi/getting_started.html#mpi.config trying to build Boost MPI .lib files, but I got one problem: I do not have mpic++.

Looking at the MPI implementation files such as MPICH2 and Open MPI, I see no mpic++ included at all.

Where can I find mpic++?

+2  A: 

What is your distribution or OS?

My Debian / Ubuntu systems have it as a softlink to mpic++.openmpi (which comes from the libopenmpi-dev package). So I use Open MPI; the MPICH2 packages provide the same softlink.

Well then you will have to check your OpenMPI or MPICh2 installation as to whether (and if so, where) it provides an `mpic++` binary.
