Libboost error

GNU Radio
1

Dear all,

I’m installing GNU Radio 3.7.3 on Ubuntu 14.04. When I run “make”, I got
this error:

[ 86%] Built target gnuradio-uhd

/usr/local/lib/libuhd.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)
boost::re_detail::get_mem_block()' /usr/local/lib/libuhd.so: undefined reference to /usr/local/lib/libuhd.so: undefined reference to /usr/local/lib/libuhd.so: undefined reference toboost::re_detail::raise_runtime_error(std::runtime_error const&)’
/usr/local/lib/libuhd.so: undefined reference to
`boost::filesystem3::path::parent_path() const’

make[1]: *** [gr-uhd/examples/c++/CMakeFiles/tags_demo.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

The version of libboost I installed is 1.54. However, it seems like the
GNU
Radio installer tried to use libboost1.46. I did run:

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/gnuradio-3.7.3 -DENABLE_BAD_BOOST=True
…/

but that error still happened.

Could someone show me how to fix this?

Thanks,
Hoang

Are you using Pybombs? Also, do you have several boost versions
installed? Where are they?

  1. I do not use Pybombs.

  2. To install libboost, I just ran:
    sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev.
    By default, it get and install the latest of libboost (1.54).

To check the version of libboost, I ran: dpkg -s libboost-dev | grep
‘Version’, and
get:
Version: 1.54.0.1ubuntu

I do not understand why the GNU Radio installer call the libboost1.46.

The CMake process may have its faults, but it won’t randomly decide to
use a boost version not installed. Make sure there really is no boost
4.6 anywhere on your machine, and clear out the build dir.

“/usr/local/lib/libuhd.so” seems to be linked agains that version. I’m
not sure where you got that libuhd from but it seems to use a
different boost version than what you have now.

Thanks, Sylvain,

that’s something I missed in the OPs question.

This error message is actually something you’ll see if you installed GR

  • UHD on 13.10, then upgraded to 14.04 and then re-installed GR without
    first re-building UHD.
