Problems with libboost

Posted on March 29, 2018

Hello everyone and happy easter.

I’m trying to use some software on my server (Ubuntu), but I’m getting an error with libboost when I try to run the software.

./luso-cli: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_system.so.1.62.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I’ve installed libboost1.62.0 both from source and apt.

How can I debug or fix this error?

I got it fixed, my install from source conflicted with the one installed by apt, I ran purge --remove boost, and that fixed my problem so only my needed version was left.
