Cufflinks make 1.3.0 error

[himanshu04]

Dear all,
I have installed Samtools, Bowtie and TopHat as per the instructions. All of those tools work. Then I downloaded the Boost libraries and installed using bjam build. I was able to configure cufflinks 1.3.0 . The boost library version I have is 1.49.0. I tried to run the make on cufflinks and I am getting an error as follows


libcufflinks.a(assemble.o): In function `boost::thread_specific_ptr<std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > >erator->() const':
/usr/include/boost/thread/tss.hpp:84: undefined reference to `boost::detail::get_tss_data(void const*)'

libcufflinks.a(assemble.o):/usr/include/boost/thread/tss.hpp:84: more undefined references to `boost::detail::get_tss_data(void const*)'

Is there a way around it. I need to download Cufflinks. I ama using a 64bit Ubuntu platform.
Any solutions/help is really appreciated.
Thanks,
Himanshu Sharma.

Hi,

I had the same problem with cufflinks 2.0.2 and boost-1.50. It seems that the configure script fails to detect the need for two of the binary libraries from boost.

After running configure, edit src/Makefile (line 163 in my configuration) and change:

BOOST_THREAD_LIB =

to

BOOST_THREAD_LIB = -lboost_thread -lboost_system

This solved the compilation problem for me.
