What are the packages needed for boost headers?

rated 0 times [ 5] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 11134 / 2 Years ago, thu, february 10, 2022, 4:46:57

I'm trying to install gearmand (from source) and I need the boost headers version >= 1.39. For this I installed libboost1.49-dev, libboost-program-options1.49.0, uuid-dev and other dependencies.

Is there any other package that needs to be installed also ? Because each time I run ./configure to prepare gearmand it keeps telling me that it needs Boost headers version >= 1.39. I don't know why it doesn't find the headers, since the /usr/includes/boost/ directory exists.

What am I missing ?

To fulfil all build dependencies, my approach is always to start out asking APT to install them for the version which is in the repositories. Here's how:

sudo apt-get build-dep gearman-job-server

This may install some packages you have overlooked, but it might not install the dependencies if the version you're trying to compile from source has different requirements. I suspect you are just missing packages like libboost-thread-dev and libboost-program-options-dev, which the above command will take care of.

The version of Boost in all supported Ubuntu versions is perfectly fine for your requirement of version 1.39 and up.
