Error while running boost libraries

[SubodhTambat]

Hi everyone,

While installing boost libraries I got following errors:

The following Boost libraries could not be found:

boost_thread

Some (but not all) of the required Boost libraries were found. You may
need to install these additional Boost libraries. Alternatively, set
BOOST_LIBRARYDIR to the directory containing Boost libraries or BOOST_ROOT
to the location of Boost.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
cmake/macros.cmake:93 (find_package)
cmake/cxxConfigure.cmake:87 (casava_find_boost)
c++/CMakeLists.txt:33 (include)

Can any one give some solution ??

Thank you.

Subodh: Can you describe what procedure you are following to install the boost libraries? What step are you getting this error on? What OS is this?

Have you set $BOOST_ROOT to the directory where you have boost libraries as the message indicated in your original post?

could you please explain me ,

Alternatively, set
BOOST_LIBRARYDIR to the directory containing Boost libraries or BOOST_ROOT
to the location of Boost.

Depending on the shell you are using you need to set one of those variables to the directory where boost libraries are installed.

in bash shell:

$ export BOOST_ROOT=/path_to_boost_installation

in csh/tcsh:

$ setenv BOOST_ROOT /path_to_boost_installation
