Hello Leon,

Thanks for your quick response! I'm not sure if I understand what you mean (my fault not yours). I typed "-lboost_system" and "-lboost_thread" into the command line of the terminal however both types it returned the error message "command not found". I assume you mean to add these lines to the .bashrc or to the install file for openfoam. Is this correct? 

You are correct that the boost files are downloaded to the /usr/lib, however searching through the lib directory I find that the most similar libraries to those discussed are the "libboost_system.so.1.54.0" and "libboost_thread.so.1.54.0" files, are these the correct files? Again thank you for all your help, I really appreciate it.

All the best,
Blair Climenhaga

      Thanks Maarten,

        

        How would I go about linking -lboost_system and -lboost_thread?
        I'm sorry, I am just starting out with Linux. I should say that
        I am using Ubuntu 14.04. Thanks in advance for any and all help
        you can provide.

      
    
    

    Exactly the way you've written: add "-lboost_system -lboost_thread"
    to the command line. If you installed Ubuntu's boost-all-dev package
    the libraries should already be under /usr/li where linker will find
    t hem;; if not add -L<path-to-directory-containing-libraries>
    to tell the linker where the libraries are.

    

    Cheers,

    

    Leon

                    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​
