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?

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.

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?

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. I had a very specific reason not to. Hope it helps, Leon

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.

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. Download and unzip boost 1.61.0 to a directory in /home 2. cd into the boost 1_61_0 directory 3. run ./bootstrap --prefix=/usr 4. run ./b2 5. run sudo ./b2 install To: boost-users@lists.boost.org From: steinbach@scionics.de Date: Thu, 9 Jun 2016 21:03:49 +0200 Subject: Re: [Boost-users] Trouble Updating Boost to run OpenFOAM Hi Blair, the following will get the job done, but will clutter your system with manually build binaries (which I don't recommend and others warned about already).
