[Discuss-gnuradio] Failed to find libraries with prefix 'libboost_' after pre-requisite installation.

[Songsong Gee]

I am trying to install GNU Radio and UHD on a new PC with the latest build-gnuradio script. (which includes gtk2-engines-pixbuf)

When the script checks the library after pre-requisite installation, an error occurs and the script stops.

Here is the message when it occurs:

Checking for library libusb ...Found library libusb

Checking for library libboost_ ... build-gnuradio examples.desktop tmp1883

Failed to find libraries with prefix 'libboost_' after pre-requisite installation.

This very likely indicates that the pre-requisite installation failed to install one or more critical pre-requisites for Gnu Radio/UHD

Show pre-requisites install log?y

prereq.log: No such file or directory

exiting build

I understood that libboost is not installed properly, and I tried:

sudo apt-get libboost-all-dev

which is a part of pre-requisites and re-run the script. But it failed at the same step.

So I've tried to modify the script:

Replace checklib libboost_ 5 with:

checklib libboost- 5 (replace the underbar with a hyphen, failed)

checklib libboost 5 (remove the underbar, failed)

checklib libboost_ 0 (change the number 5 to 0)

The last one has an effect, but I don't think it solves problem clearly

Because changing that number to zero means skipping some procedure for checking library

And this library checks also failed with the libraries which have the number '5', so I changed all of them

Anyway, currently I'm waiting for it to complete installation, and will report after full installation

Anyone have idea for this, please give me a advice

Thanks
