Treemix boost compilation errors

[Simey]

We have been unable to compile Treemix due to Boost errors. We have installed Boost in /usr/local/boost_1_56_0, I have added it to my PATH. We do get a few boost compilation errors, so not sure if this is the issue:

Boost error:
...failed common.copy /usr/local/lib/libboost_wave.a...
...failed updating 65 targets...
...skipped 11263 targets...
...updated 1007 targets...

we get the following error trying to compile Treemix:

If you have a staged boost library (still not installed) please specify $BOOST_ROOT in your environment and do not give a PATH to --with-boost option.  If you are sure you have boost installed, then check your version number looking in <boost/version.hpp>. See http://randspringer.de/boost for more documentation.
configure: error: need boost >= 1.42

anybody know what we are doing wrong?

Hi Simey,

Thanks for this report. Maybe try:

./configure CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/boost_1_56_0
LDFLGAGS=-L/usr/local/boost_1_56_0

Let me know if that works.

Best,

Joe
