Failed to build boost 1.41.0

Hi all,

Trying to install a software called CASAVA and looks like it is trying to install Boost C++ library but endup with following error. Could anybody help me to solve this.

Code:

...failed updating 1 target...

...skipped 3 targets...

...updated 7797 targets...

installBoost.sh: build failed: Terminating...

CMake Error at opt/CMakeLists.txt:148 (message):

  Failed to build boost 1.41.0

i am getting this error at step 4 of below procedure

Code:

$ tar -zxf CASAVA-1.6.0.tar.gz

$ mkdir CASAVA-1.6.0-build

$ cd CASAVA-1.6.0-build

$ ../CASAVA-1.6.0/configure

$ make

$ make install

Which Linux OS are you using ? Still CentOS 5 ?

Installing boost_1.41 : # yum install boost141-devel

"boost141" is in the EPEL repo https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL >
> http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel...5-4.noarch.rpm
> # rpm -Uvh epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm

.

I don't know CASAVA but boost is included in Slackware, e.g.

Whatever be your distribution (which one is it, by the way ?) I would install boost then try to install CASAVA.

Hi knudfl and Didier Spaier,
Thank you both for replies.

I tried to install the available packages in yum as below and also installed "epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm" but no luck.
Install failed again with errors.
Installed below

Code:

# yum list |grep -i boost

boost.i386                              1.33.1-10.el5          installed

boost-devel.i386                        1.33.1-10.el5          installed



and also



# rpm -qa |grep -i epel

epel-release-5-4

and below is the detailed log of casava install error

Code:

# ../CASAVA_v1.7.0/src/configure

cmake version "cmake version 2.8.0" is already installed at /home/admin/CASAVA-1.7.0-build/bootstrap/bin/cmake

# yum install bzip2-devel

Hi

Tried to install bzip2 but YUM is not working after i installed epel rpm and getting this error now

Code:

yum install bzip2-devel

Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=epel-5&arch=i386 error was

[Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (97, 'Address family not supported by protocol')>

Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: epel. Please verify its path and try again

EPEL : May be the mirrors changed ? Like they did for Fedora some time ago.

/etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo :
You can uncomment the line "mirrorlist .." with a hashmark ( # ).
And use a fixed baseurl :

baseurl=http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/i386/

.

Hi knudfl,

Thank you very much. it was able to install boost after installing bzip2-devel but the CASAVA install failed this time with different error.
