CMake is not able to find BOOST libraries

Question

I tried everything like:

1. Configure environment variable
2. Make fresh build
3. Re-install BOOST from source
4. sudo apt-get install libb

Answer 1

I got the same error the first time I wanted to install LightGBM on python (GPU version).

You can simply fix it with this command line :

sudo apt-get install cmake libblkid-dev e2fslibs-dev libboost-all-dev libaudit-dev

the boost libraries will be installed and you'll be fine to continue your installation process.
