I have already installed BOOST in my brand new Ubuntu 12.04 machine. And when I do like this - 

cmake .

I always get the below exception saying - 

Could NOT find Boost

I am not sure what wrong I am doing here. I have one of my ubuntu instance working fine and I am trying the same thing on my new Ubuntu instance which I have got.. So I am not sure what wrong I am doing here and how the same thing works fine in my other ubuntu instance.

root@dbx1245:/export/home/test/libcql# cmake . -- Could NOT find Boost WANT_LIB64 unset; assuming normal library directory names Will install libraries to /usr/local/lib -- Configuring done -- Generating done -- Build files have been written to: /export/home/test/libcql

Can anyone help me with this?

I am running Ubuntu 12.04. I have seen other article as well on the stackoverflow but I am not able to solve this issue.

I already have boost installed by the way.

  • Please provide an SSCEE for a CMakeLists.txt that reproduces the problem. After that, please check that you have the expected files: You need at least the config.hpp in /usr/include/boost and the libboost*.a files in /usr/lib. If any of those are missing, your local installation is corrupted. Commented Nov 15, 2013 at 8:43

I also encountered this error - boost was correctly installed as suggested in this answer.

I solved it by setting

set(BOOST_INCLUDEDIR /usr/include)

just before

find_package(Boost)

I was using CMake 3.1.3 for testing (via ppa:george-edison55/cmake-3.x)
