I am trying to compile a coin source on Ubuntu and Debian and i am getting the same error,

Once i put in this command:

make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=-

I get the following:

I was referring to the guide on github:

https://github.com/MPOS/php-mpos/wiki/Quick-Start-Guide#compile

Everything works smooth, but as soon as i compile the wallet i get the above error.

I have also installed the following:

Installing Boost (A Collection of C++ Libraries)
cd /usr/local/src
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/boost/boost_1_55_0.tar.bz2
bunzip2 boost_1_55_0.tar.bz2
tar xf boost_1_55_0.tar
cd boost_1_55_0/
./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/usr/local
./b2 install --with=all

BerkeleyDB (A Library for High-Performance Database Functionality)
cd /usr/local/src
wget -qO- http://download.oracle.com/berkeley-db/db-5.1.19.tar.gz | tar xz
cd db-5.1.19/build_unix
../dist/configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-cxx
make && make install

Have you tried just:

#apt-get install libboost-all-dev

Then

$ make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=-

I haven't seen this one specifically, but usually when I get those lboost errors I'm able to mitigate them by modifying the couple of lines in the makefile that references them. But your error looks like it may be related to not being able to locate the libraries maybe? What version of boost is needed for the coin? The majority I compile don't use 1.55.

It looks like boost isn't configured properly. Make sure you install the version your software needs.

Yes i get this when i run -all-dev

Correct, i think it cant locate, i dont know how to point it to boost lib, any idea?

I installed the latest one, do you think installing older version would mitigate the error?

Yes you should try the one that the software requires.

Which Ubuntu? are you sure your ppas' are correct?


Try removing all the boost libs installed and start afresh.

Is this a local machine or a server? If local i would suggest you use 14.04 and start from scratch. And if you are new to using bash just copy paste this line and press ret.


You can edit out the stuff you dont use, but basically this line sets up any ubuntu i have used for development and testing of coins.

hi, old topic but same error  ???

Do you think the origin of problem is Debian   7 32 bits version  ?

I can run other wallet pre-compiled without any problems, its just for compilation  :-\
