How to get soci.h?

rated 0 times [ 3] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 1749 / 2 Years ago, fri, may 13, 2022, 12:50:22

I am using Ubuntu 12.04, and I compiled a package for object recognition(rein).I got an error indicating that I don't have soci.h:

Error: cannot find SOCI header file: soci.h

I tried to use this command to install libsoci

sudo apt-get install libsoci-core-gcc

But I get the message:

E: can't find package libsoci-core-gcc

Does anybody know how to install this library?Thanks!

The latest ubuntu for which there is a libsoci-core-gcc packages seems to be natty (11.04). These old packages seem to install ok on 12.04, so this is a (very hacky) way of getting /usr/include/soci/soci.h:

curl -O http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/s/soci/libsoci-core-gcc_3.0.0+cvs20081223-4build2_amd64.deb

curl -O http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/s/soci/libsoci-core-gcc-dev_3.0.0+cvs20081223-4build2_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg --install libsoci-core-gcc_3.0.0+cvs20081223-4build2_amd64.deb libsoci-core-gcc-dev_3.0.0+cvs20081223-4build2_amd64.deb

A perhaps cleaner way would be to build soci from sources: soci.sourceforge.net and install to your home directory or /usr/local, but that is also more work.
