/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_thread | when caffe, make all

[Xiang Li]

when I use " make all " to setup caffe in centos, this happens.

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_thread

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

make: *** [.build_release/lib/libcaffe.so] Error 1

seems like I have no boost library, but I type ' sudo yum install boost '

Setting up Install Process

Package boost-1.41.0-25.el6.x86_64 already installed and latest version

Nothing to do

I found boost has already been setup. How to solve this ? (/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_thread)

Thank you very much for helping.

You could try the following two ways

1. re-install the boost

2. find if there is libboost_thread-mt. If so, make an symbolic link named libboost_thread to it.

Both worked for me before.

thanks very much, I found libboost_thread-mt.so in lib64~

Hi Xiang, I have encountered the same problem on CentOS. How to make an symbolic link named libboost_thread to  libboost_thread-mt?

[Eric Eiffel]

you can make a soft link direct to libboost_thread-mt.so,make libboost_thread.so link to libboost_thread-mt.so,then make it~~

Or you can try this，vi Makefile change LIBRARIES += boost_thread to LIBRARIES += boost_thread-mt
