[Boost-users] Question about installing and using boost library.

[pan yi]

Hi all,

I'm a beginner to use boost library for my c++ coding project. After I
include the <boost/algorithm/string.hpp> in my cpp file and compile the
code, the compiling error indicates that:
fatal error: boost/algorithm/string.hpp: No such file or directory
I search on internet and knows that I need to install some boost
library. But which library should I install? (I tried to install the
whole library with "sudo apt-get install libboost*", but it doesn't work.)

Can any one help me? I'm compiling and executing c++ on ubuntu
Version12.04 environment

Thank you so much.

Best Regards
Pan

Why don't you ask packages.ubuntu.com search engine to tell you
what package provides boost/algorithm/string.hpp file:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=boost%2Falgorithm%2Fstring.hpp&mode=exactfilename&suite=precise&arch=any

Hi,

Have you tried typing "install boost ubuntu" into google? ;-)

Here's my first result

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12578499/boost-installation-ubuntu

and voted best answer sais:
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev

I don't use ubuntu, so I can't tell you if it works for me ;-)

HTH,
