newbie: my program can't find boost libraries
Hello I am new to boost. In my RHEL linux (no root permission), my program does not find boost installation and says: *** Please install package libboost-filesystem to /home/myself/folder *** Please install package libboost-system to /home/myself/folder I installed latest boost using these instructionshttp://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html... . ./bootstrap.sh ----with-libraries=filesystem,system --prefix=/home/myself/folder ./bjam install Can you tell, what is wrong I am doing and anything to add in include path etc. My paths: echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH /home/myself/folder/lib:/home/myself/ddrive/test/boost_1_49_0/stage/lib echo $CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH /home/myself/folder/include/ My program has makefile: LD_LIBS += -lboost_filesystem -lboost_system (and others) Thanks and Regards Sparsh Mittal

*** Please install package libboost-system to /home/myself/folder
I installed latest boost using these instructions.
./bootstrap.sh ----with-libraries=filesystem,system --prefix=/home/myself/folder
./bjam install
Can you tell, what is wrong I am doing and anything to add in include path etc.
My paths:
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH /home/myself/folder/lib:/home/myself/ddrive/test/boost_1_49_0/stage/lib
echo $CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH /home/myself/folder/include/
My program has makefile:
LD_LIBS += -lboost_filesystem -lboost_system (and others)
Thanks and Regards Sparsh Mittal
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the env variable for the linker, you must also set the LIBRARY_PATH for running a programm. A program searches the LIBRARY_PATH first for the libraries. The linker does not search the LIBRARY_PATH, it uses the LD_LIBRARY_PATH HTH Phil

Not quite. The regular linker doesn't look anywhere indicated by an environment variable. It just looks in the system locations and wherever specified with a -L flag when linking. His error seems to be from some build system, not his compiled program. He needs to provide parameters like "-L/home/myself/folder/lib" to it, typically in the form of LDFLAGS or similarly named parameters. LD_LIBRARY_PATH is for the dynamic linker to resolve shared libraries at runtime, it has no role at linking time. -- Lars Viklund | zao@acc.umu.se

Your right, I have set in build toolset (Scons) both types LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LIBRARY_PATH to equal values and my Scons script should read the path values of the variables and set the -L parameter on the g++ calls. In my case I can add a new directory to the linker and run command if I set only one of the variables to the path. Phil
Thanks a lot, all, for helping me out. Now my program finds the path
properly.
However, I find that on using gcc 4.6.0 it generates "internal compiler
error, seg-fault". Is there any conflict etc. in boost and gcc 4.6.0 or
some other issue. I can send preprocessed file or more info, if desired.
Thanks and Regards
