Hi,
We are trying to install gnuradio on our home laptop running mint
12. ./configure for gnuradio indicates that the boost libraries could not be
found. After reading the READMEboost, I downloaded the latest boost,
boost_1_49.tar.bz2. This version of boost uses bootstrap and configure
to install. The boost lib files are installed:
/usr/local/boost_1_49_0/lib/library files
include headers are in:
/usr/local/boost_1_49_0/include/boost/hpp file
I have added:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/boost_1_49_0/lib
Attached are outputs from the .bootstrap and ./configure commands for gnuradio.
Any thoughts suggestions for getting ./configure to see the libboost files?
Have we
correctly set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH for our boost lib/include locations
So, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is your system's library search path, its a runtime
thing so it wont help with configuring.
You should have a boost that comes with your system's package manager.
That should be easier to install and the configuration should be more
automatic.
But, If you are going to use a boost installed into a non-standard path,
take a look at the m4 file here:
http://gnuradio.org/cgit/gnuradio.git/tree/config/ax_boost_base.m4
there seem to be options like --with-boost-libdir=

Yes, Josh is right, Mint 12 has a version of Boost that is plenty new
enough for GNU Radio (1.46.1.1; we require 1.35).
It _should_ be:
$ sudo apt-get install libboost-dev
That will pull in all of the Boost libraries for you and install them
into /usr/lib. (This is just a guess since I don't have a Mint machine
to test on).
