问题
I can't shake this error when trying to install Thrift:
./configure
...
checking for boostlib >= 1.40.0... configure: WARNING: We could not detect the boost libraries (version 1.40 or higher). If you have a staged boost library (still not installed) please specify $BOOST_ROOT in your environment and do not give a PATH to --with-boost option. If you are sure you have boost installed, then check your version number looking in <boost/version.hpp>. See http://randspringer.de/boost for more documentation.
I'm using CentOS. As per the Thrift docs on CentOS, I've done
sudo yum install automake libtool flex bison pkgconfig gcc-c++ boost-devel libevent-devel zlib-devel python-devel ruby-devel
I've tried using --with-boost to no avail.
I've also done:
[]# yum install boost141
Setting up Install Process
Package boost141-1.41.0-2.el5.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
[]# yum install boost141-devel
Setting up Install Process
Package boost141-devel-1.41.0-2.el5.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Package boost141-devel-1.41.0-2.el5.i386 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
So now I have:
[root@domU-12-31-39-18-3D-20 include]# find / -name boost
/usr/local/bin/boost
/usr/include/boost141/boost
/usr/include/boost
Through various googling, I've found people with this error who say, 'Oh it was gcc-c++, I didn't have that installed,' but as far as I can tell, I have gcc-c++ installed:
[root@domU-12-31-39-18-3D-20 boost]# yum install gcc-c++
rightscale-epel | 951 B 00:00
Setting up Install Process
Package gcc-c++-4.1.2-46.el5_4.2.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
Any advice? Thanks in advance.
回答1:
This is an old question, but I recently hit the same thing working with a Cent 5.10 machine and building Thrift
Fixup the include files for boost141 and the build will work.
ln -s /usr/include/boost141/boost /usr/include/boost
