"Boost headers" error while configuring (Ubuntu)

[Georex]

If you're compiling from the source code, I've found the following configure command to work...

BOOST_LIB=-L/usr/local/lib ./configure --with-boost=/usr/local/include/boost-1_34_1

This seems to allow the configure script to find both the Boost headers and libraries.
You'll need to modify the above locations for your system of course.

I sure feel like an idiot now...

Thank you

I can confirm this works...

I`ve got the same problems.

configure: error: Could not find Boost headers version >= 1.33

have done all, that recomended:

sudo apt-get build-dep wesnoth
sudo apt-get install python-dev libboost libboost-iostreams-dev

And now I have an error:

checking for the Boost iostreams library... configure: error: Cannot compile a test that uses Boost iostreams

I have the newest versions of all that packages. What`s wrong? Pleas help me - I`m not a linux guru at all

I had the same problem:

Code: Select all

configure: error: Could not find Boost headers version >= 1.33

Thanks for the tip about the 'pyste' package, it configures now. So, on Debian Lenny:

Code: Select all

apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-net1.2-dev libboost-dev pyste
./configure
make
make install

And it works!
