Hello everyone,

I have been attempting to install OpenFOAM however the boost library has been giving me trouble, most recently reading out these error during OpenFOAM installation.

undefined reference to `boost::system::generic_category()'
undefined reference to `boost::system::system_category()'

You need to link with -lboost_system (or equivalent for whatever name your platform uses). Most libraries in boost are header only, but that is not true for everything. Boost system is one of the libraries that needs a compiled library.

undefined reference to `boost::detail::set_tss_data(void const*, boost::shared_ptr<boost::detail::tss_cleanup_function>, void*, bool)'
undefined reference to `boost::detail::get_tss_data(void const*)'

Similar problem, link with -lboost_thread
