Help compiling bitcoin on Centos6.5

[m3]

I have been trying to install bitcoind on centos and was not able to compile it, this is the config log:

A similar question was asked before:

I'm unable to configure 0.9.0:

Code:

$ ./configure --with-incompatible-bdb --without-gui
[…]

configure: error: No working boost sleep implementation found. If on ubuntu 13.10 with libboost1.54-all-dev remove libboost.1.54-all-dev and use libboost1.53-all-dev

This seemed to be a problem in MacOS last year according to my searches, however I'm in linux amd64 so I'm not sure whether I'm finding the same problem or not. This is Debian wheezy, with boost 1.49. I'm working with bitcoin 0.9.0 as downloaded from https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/archive/v0.9.0.tar.gz. config.log is here.

It was answered here:

Main problem from config.log is:

Code:

/usr/include/boost/thread/xtime.hpp:23:5: error: expected identifier before numeric constant

That line is probably:

Code:

TIME_UTC=1,

This causes a symbol collision in some environments with a libc++ macro.
Later boost versions changed this to TIME_UTC_.

I'm not sure what the proper way to resolve this is, apart from upgrading boost.

In any case this is a boost issue, it also appears on Google various places outside the context of building bitcoin. There are some workarounds:
- https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=144593
- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17599377/boost-error-trouble-compiling-xtime-hpp
- https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/6940

The solution which worked for dserrano5 was to edit xtime.hpp as suggested here:https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=144593

Hope this helps!

Bitcoin Core has changed since 0.9.x. Just follow the instructions here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-unix.md to build Bitcoin Core for ubuntu.
