But when I run this I get this error: zach@debian:~/code$ ./a.out < jayne.txt ./a.out: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_regex-gcc41-mt-1_35.so.1.35.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Probably the linker does not search in /usr/local/lib or the libs are not in the cache yet. Try "ldd ~/code/a.out" which shows you the shared libraries the program is linked against and where the linker has found them (or hasn't). You can try setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib ldd ~/code/a.out LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib ~/code/a.out Make sure that /usr/local/lib is included in /etc/ld.so.conf or some file in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ If it is then you probably have not rebooted since installing boost. You can run ldconfig (as root) to regenerate the linker cache. After that it should work without setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Or you could just link to the static libraries: $ g++ -I /usr/local/include/boost_1_35/ boostTest2.cpp -L/usr/local/lib/ -Wl,-Bstatic -lboost_regex-gcc41-mt Regards, Mika
