Install a second version of libboost_filesystem

Hello Everyone,

I have got an Epson Workforce WF-2750 scanner device.
To make it works with my Fedora 28, it seems, that I have no choice but install the tool provided by the manufacturer (no packaged driver available).
The Espson soft is available here, but only for Fedora 27: http://support.epson.net/linux/en/im...version=1.3.28
I still tried to install it, but got the following error message.

Code:
cd ~/Downloads
tar zxf imagescan-bundle-fedora-27-1.3.28.x64.rpm.tar.gz
cd imagescan-bundle-fedora-27-1.3.28.x64.rpm
sudo sh ./install.sh

Error: 
 Problem 1: conflicting requests
  - nothing provides libboost_filesystem.so.1.64.0()(64bit) needed by imagescan-3.38.0-1epson4fedora27.x86_64
 Problem 2: package imagescan-plugin-networkscan-1.1.1-1epson4fedora27.x86_64 requires imagescan >= 3.9.0, but none of the providers can be installed

  - conflicting requests
  - nothing provides libboost_filesystem.so.1.64.0()(64bit) needed by imagescan-3.38.0-1epson4fedora27.x86_64
Then I found this topic, explaining that libboost_filesystem.so.1.64.0 was installed on F27, but now F28 has v1.66.0: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1576911

They are right
locate libboost_filesystem
/usr/lib64/libboost_filesystem.so.1.66.0

So I decided to install the previous version v1.64.0 near to the new one. This is the first time I try doing a such thing (and I don't kwnow much about c++ and unix libs management).

I followed build instructions provided by the official site: https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_64_...-variants.html

After downloading the sources, I used the following commands.

Code:
tar zxf boost_1_64_0.tar.gz
cd boost_1_64_0
./bootstrap.sh --with-libraries=filesystem
./b2
sudo cp stage/lib/* /usr/local/lib64
ldconfig -n -v /usr/local/lib64

/usr/local/lib64:
	libboost_filesystem.so.1.64.0 -> libboost_filesystem.so.1.64.0
	libboost_system.so.1.64.0 -> libboost_system.so.1.64.0
It seems there some stuff deployed, but the lib is still not found.

Code:
ls -al /usr/local/lib64
total 584
drwxr-xr-x.  2 root root   4096 May 28 20:32 .
drwxr-xr-x. 12 root root   4096 Feb  7 10:41 ..
-rw-r--r--.  1 root root 221068 May 28 20:32 libboost_filesystem.a
-rwxr-xr-x.  1 root root 136736 May 28 20:32 libboost_filesystem.so
-rwxr-xr-x.  1 root root 136736 May 28 20:32 libboost_filesystem.so.1.64.0

-rwxr-xr-x.  1 root root  19520 May 28 20:32 libboost_system.so
-rwxr-xr-x.  1 root root  19520 May 28 20:32 libboost_system.so.1.64.0

locate libboost_filesystem
/usr/lib64/libboost_filesystem.so.1.66.0
I have also tried with setting this dir in dedicated env var, without success.
Code:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib64
Does anyone have an idea on what I missed?

as far as locate you have to update your data base for that.
Code:
sudo updatedb
Did you try installing your software driver after you installed your required boost lib?

if it doesn't work, you could try this,
Code:
$ locate libboost_filesystem.so
/usr/lib/libboost_filesystem.so
/usr/lib/libboost_filesystem.so.1.66.0
if the current one you have is greater than the one it is looking for. create a soft link from that giving it the one it is looking for name and cross your fingers and hope it works too. if not then just delete that soft link.

Code:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libboost_filesystem.so.1.66.0 /usr/lib64/libboost_filesystem.so.1.64.0
its a try...

or post back what happened after you tried installing the driver after you installed the boost lib.

Hi @BW-userx!

update db works for locate
Code:
sudo updatedb

locate libboost_filesystem
/usr/lib64/libboost_filesystem.so.1.66.0
/usr/local/lib64/libboost_filesystem.a
/usr/local/lib64/libboost_filesystem.so
/usr/local/lib64/libboost_filesystem.so.1.64.0
but still the same error, during install
Code:
sudo sh ./install.sh

Error: 
 Problem 1: conflicting requests
  - nothing provides libboost_filesystem.so.1.64.0()(64bit) needed by imagescan-3.38.0-1epson4fedora27.x86_64
 Problem 2: package imagescan-plugin-networkscan-1.1.1-1epson4fedora27.x86_64 requires imagescan >= 3.9.0, but none of the providers can be installed
  - conflicting requests
  - nothing provides libboost_filesystem.so.1.64.0()(64bit) needed by imagescan-3.38.0-1epson4fedora27.x86_64
 Problem 3: package imagescan-plugin-gt-s650-1.0.0-1epson4fedora27.x86_64 requires imagescan >= 3.28.0, but none of the providers can be installed
  - conflicting requests
  - nothing provides libboost_filesystem.so.1.64.0()(64bit) needed by imagescan-3.38.0-1epson4fedora27.x86_64
 Problem 4: package imagescan-plugin-ocr-engine-1.0.0-1epson4fedora27.x86_64 requires imagescan >= 3.14.0, but none of the providers can be installed
  - conflicting requests
  - nothing provides libboost_filesystem.so.1.64.0()(64bit) needed by imagescan-3.38.0-1epson4fedora27.x86_64
then I tried the symlink
Code:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libboost_filesystem.so.1.66.0 /usr/lib64/libboost_filesystem.so.1.64.0

locate libboost_filesystem
/usr/lib64/libboost_filesystem.so.1.64.0
/usr/lib64/libboost_filesystem.so.1.66.0
/usr/local/lib64/libboost_filesystem.a
/usr/local/lib64/libboost_filesystem.so
/usr/local/lib64/libboost_filesystem.so.1.64.0
again the same error...
thanks though

When dealing with a program that wants and older version of a library file, I've been known to do the following:
  1. Download an rpm file containing thecorrect version of the library
  2. Extract the needed library file (typically libsomething.x.y.z) to /usr/lib64
  3. Create the required symlink in /usr/lib64 (ln -s libsomething.so.x.y.z libsomething.so.x)
It typically works for me, but, of course, YMMV

Finally I managed to install the soft available on flathub.
Code:
flatpak install flathub com.github.utsushi.Utsushi/x86_64/stable
Soft is working fine but not recognizing any device... Maybe it would work with native app?

Also I found missing libs (with correct version) in flatpak app dir.
Code:
ls /var/lib/flatpak/app/com.github.utsushi.Utsushi/x86_64/stable/.../files/lib/
And manually deployed them to the /usr/lib64 and run updatedb then locate, but still cannot install the app...
Also try to install the rpm package with several commands.
Code:
sudo dnf install ./imagescan-3.38.0-1epson4fedora27.x86_64.rpm
Error:
