dependencies on Ubuntu Oneiric
Eric Abrahamsen
dependency problems I'm not sure how to resolve:

Package bjam is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
libboost1.46-dev
E: Package 'bjam' has no installation candidate
acprep: ERROR: Execution failed: sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool autoconf automake autopoint zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev python-dev cvs gettext libgmp3-dev libmpfr-dev libedit-dev texinfo lcov sloccount bjam libboost-dev libboost-python-dev libboost-regex-dev libboost-date-time-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-iostreams-dev
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
(Note that acprep seems to think I'm still using Hardy.)
I've got libboost1.46-dev installed, and looking at it with apt-get it
says it both conflicts with and replaces bjam; the description says it
provides the auxiliary tools bjam (and others).
Running ./acprep update, it complains that it can't find the boost
libraries, though among the attempted directories is:
acprep: INFO: Looking for Boost in /usr/lib...
That's where the boost libraries are, but it can't seem to find them.
The lib files are:
libboost_iostreams.so.1.46.1
libboost_serialization.so.1.46.1
libboost_wserialization.so.1.46.1
It's possible to run make and make install, but invoking ledger gets me:
ledger: error while loading shared libraries:
libboost_iostreams.so.1.42.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I've tried running acprep with --debug, and with --boost-home, but it
doesn't tell me anything more than that it can't find the libraries.
Presumably it's still looking for the older version of the libs for some
reason, can I tell it to use 1.46.1 somehow?
Thanks!

./acprep opt update
and it worked!

PS : just remove bjam

Thanks for this, I was indeed missing some of those libraries, not sure
why.
However after running ./acprep opt update (no errors this time), I still
get the error:
libboost_iostreams.so.1.42.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Even using the ledger executable in the source directory, before running
make install.
Also, there is no package called bjam…
Thanks again,
Eric

Why is Oneiric using 1.42, instead of 1.46 or 1.47?
> Also, there is no package called bjam…
You don't need it from 1.46 onward.

It isn't! 1.46 is installed, it appears to be ledger that's looking for
1.42 and not finding it. Probably I'm just missing a step in the build
process. Now, "./acprep update" finds the right libraries:
acprep: INFO: Found a Boost library: /usr/lib/libboost_regex.so.1.46.1
But right after that, using the ledger executable in the source folder
(cloned from git) still gives me the above error.
Is there some sort of cleaning or resetting process I can do?
Thanks,
Eric

Can you run "ldd ledger"? And check the modification timestamp on that Ledger
binary?
Thx, John

Okay, I wasn't building a new ledger at all -- the binary was from June.
I have no idea what went wrong there: I noticed many of the
configure-related files in the build directory were owned by root, so
perhaps that was hanging things up. "acprep update" (even with the
--debug option) wasn't producing any particular errors, and it wasn't
obvious that a new binary actually wasn't being built.
Anyway I trashed the directory and re-cloned from git, and all is
working well now. Sorry for the noise.
