Trouble Updating Boost to run OpenFOAM
Hello Everyone, I have recently begun using OpenFOAM which requires boost for some of its functions, however upon installing OpenFOAM it appears that some of the needed Boost contents are not in my usr/include/boost such as the directories container, move, intrusive, core and many others. I have attempted to update boost in multiple ways so that these directories are added to the boost directory however I have had no success. The two types of attempts I have made are listed below. 1. Using sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev, however this seems to just update the lib and provide me with the needed directories 2. Download the .zip of the newest boost version and follow the steps listed on the boost website. I have been downloading and installing the files to a directory in the home rather than usr and it seems that the product is not on the Path of the computer, as it is does not appear when I use the echo or whereis commands. If anyone has any advice for how to solve this issue or any recommendations I would greatly appreciate the assistance. Thank you for your time and for your help in advance. All the best, Blair Climenhaga

This isn't really a Boost question. However older guidelines for installing OpenFOAM on Ubuntu are here: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Installation/Linux/OpenFOAM-2.3.0/Ubuntu You'll see that there's specific Boost dev libraries that need to be installed. If this doesn't work you should ask on the OpenFOAM mailing list. Damien
Hi, The problem I need solved is how to add the needed Boost directories, which is a Boost problem. Even if had no intent to use it with OpenFOAM, I would still like to add the new directories and libraries. Do you know how this can be completed?

Well, not quite. How Ubuntu manages their Boost installation is up to Ubuntu. Boost installation is different on every Linux distribution. Your best bet is to ask on the OpenFOAM mailing list seeing as that's the software you need to work. They'll be able to tell you the apt-get commands to get the correct Boost libs for your Ubuntu and OpenFOAM versions. Unless there's an OpenFOAM on Ubuntu expert on the Boost list that knows the answer. Damien
Hi, I have done as you said a matter of days ago to OpenFOAM's forum and I have received no response. The matter is slightly urgent, hence why I chose to post to this mailing list. I am attempting to install/update to Boost 1.61.0 on my Ubuntu 12.04 workstation. Can you see any error in using the command below to achieve this/ any reason why not all directories would be added? sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev All the best, Blair To: boost-users@lists.boost.org From: damien@khubla.com Date: Thu, 9 Jun 2016 10:27:05 -0600 Subject: Re: [Boost-users] Trouble Updating Boost to run OpenFOAM On 6/9/2016 10:16 AM, Blair Climenhaga wrote: Hi, The problem I need solved is how to add the needed Boost directories, which is a Boost problem.

Since Ubuntu 12.04 you said you are running on your WS is rather old (16.04 LTS is out there) I don't believe the 12.04 repositories will get updated to Boost 1.61. Especially considering that even 16.04 comes with Boost 1.58.
If you need 1.61 your best bet is to download Boost 1.61 source distribution from the Boost site and build/install the stuff yourself. Cheers, Leon

Hi, Thanks for the answer, that makes a lot of sense. To install it for myself do you know what directory I should download/extract the .zip directory to (usr, usr/include, usr/local etc.) ? Additionally what should I add as the prefix for the "./b2 install prefix=" command?

If that's a source package, unzip it at some convenient place in/under your home directory. Certainly don't use system directories for that. And don't unzip/compile as root. It's not hygienic. Build as regular user, use sudo for install only. Install prefix will tell b2 where to install compiled libraries and headers. It's your pick. I'd suggest you don't use the system space (/usr) but some other place (/usr/local, /opt, /opt/local/share or something like that) that is meant for customization. I don't recall off-hand which Ubuntu uses. But before you start, use apt to remove your current Boost installation to avoid confusion with two versions of the same stuff lying around. Good luck, Leon

Hi, Thank you so much for your response, it was extremely informative. However things are still not as they should be. I completed the following installation procedure Download an unzip to a directory to /home/su2/Programs such that boost_1_61_0 is now in the directory. cd into the boost_1_61_0 directory Ran ./bootstrap.sh Ran ./b2 --prefix=/usr/local However searching through the /usr/local directory I cannot find the files. Returning to the boost_1_61_0 directory I see new files making me think it installed to the this directory instead, did I do something wrong? Is there a way to have the system look to here for the installed files?

But I doubt it will install Boost 1.61, as it installs prebuilt Boost libraries packaged for Ubuntu fetched from ubuntu repositories. Since Ubuntu 12.04 you said you are running on your WS is rather old (16.04 LTS is out there) I don't believe the 12.04 repositories will get updated to Boost 1.61. Especially considering that even 16.04 comes with Boost 1.58. If you need 1.61 your best bet is to download Boost 1.61 source distribution from the Boost site and build/install the stuff yourself.

Hi,

1.
Download an unzip to a directory to /home/su2/Programs such that boost_1_61_0 is now in the directory.
2. cd into the boost_1_61_0 directory 3.
Ran ./bootstrap.sh
4.
Ran ./b2 --prefix=/usr/local
However searching through the /usr/local directory I cannot find the files. Returning to the boost_1_61_0 directory I see new files making me think it installed to the this directory instead, did I do something wrong? Is there a way to have the system look to here for the installed files?
You didn't say what exactly you downloaded and are trying to install. You can download either package with pre-compiled libraries (for some platforms), or a source distribution package and compile it yourself. In either case, and according to http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_61_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html..., you'd need to run ./bootstrap.sh with --prefix option, and ./b2 install without it. I never install prebuild libraries so I have no experience with such packages. I'd recommend a careful reading of the above, and the associated documents that are available at the Boost site. Occasionally I have to compile and install Boost myself (usually because the system supplied package is too old), but so far I found this process rather fluent and well documented. It really is worth reading through the docs. As for the latter part, your question it's a bit vague. When you compile and link your sources that make a use of Boost libraries, it's a matter of compiler and linker directives that tell compiler where to search for header files and tell linker where to look for libraries. When you want to run your programs that use Boost shared libraries, then the system loader has to find these libraries. But all this stuff is platform specific, sensitive to the linker options you have used and other variables. By default gcc on Ubuntu will probaly look into /usr/include and /usr/local/include for headers, and /lib, /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib for libraries. But you can use -I and -L to specify custom locations. Cheers, Leon

If that's a source package, unzip it at some convenient place in/under your home directory. Certainly don't use system directories for that. And don't unzip/compile as root. It's not hygienic. Build as regular user, use sudo for install only.
Install prefix will tell b2 where to install compiled libraries and headers. It's your pick. I'd suggest you don't use the system space (/usr) but some other place (/usr/local, /opt, /opt/local/share or something like that) that is meant for customization. I don't recall off-hand which Ubuntu uses.
But before you start, use apt to remove your current Boost installation to avoid confusion with two versions of the same stuff lying around.
Good luck,

Just found in my notes - this is how I built and installed Boost 1.58 on Ubuntu 14.08 from the source package about a year ago: $ ./bootstrap.sh --exec-prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib --includedir=/usr/include $ ./b2 $ sudo ./b2 install You may wish to use /usr/local, /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include instead.

Hello everyone, Firstly I would like to thank everyone who provided me with help yesterday. Moving forward with advice given as well my own readings of the problem I have been able to download and install boost 1.61.0 to my /usr directory. However while attempting to install OpenFOAM the error message shown below appears. undefined reference to `boost::detail::set_tss_data(void const*, boost::shared_ptr<boost::detail::tss_cleanup_function>, void*, bool)' I believe it has something to do with how libraries are linked, however I do not have enough experience in the subject to say for certain. To assist in your understanding of the problem I have attached two .txt files, with the first containing the terminal readout from the installation process of boost 1.61.0 and the other containing the terminal readout while attempting to install OpenFOAM. If anyone has any experience with these problems, has a theory of what is happening, or has advice on how to resolve the issue, I would deeply appreciate the help. All the best, Blair Climenhaga P.s. I installed boost 1.61.0 using the following steps 1.
