I have a Rocks 6.1.1 (with CentOS 6.5) installed on a VM, and I'm trying to get Boost installed on it. I tried doing yum install boost-devel. However, it complains about missing dependencies:

   Error: Package: boost-devel-1.41.0-18.el6.i686 (Rocks-6.1.1)
           Requires: libboost_serialization.so.5
   Error: Package: boost-graph-1.41.0-18.el6.i686 (Rocks-6.1.1)
           Requires: libicuuc.so.42
   Error: Package: boost-devel-1.41.0-18.el6.i686 (Rocks-6.1.1)
           Requires: libboost_math_tr1l.so.5
   Error: Package: boost-devel-1.41.0-18.el6.i686 (Rocks-6.1.1)
           Requires: libboost_prg_exec_monitor.so.5
   ...

How do I get libboost installed? Maybe I'm missing a repository, or something like that (a silly mistake).

Thank you very much.

  • A little bit further information please? I have the last Rocks release (6.1.1). It's fresh, there isn't anything else to upgrade that I can see. – Santiago Dec 01 '14 at 21:02

My guess (not able to test a Rocks VM build at the moment) is that the Rocks 6.1.1 install doesn't include the latest EPEL release package (for EL6), which includes libboost and its dependencies. You can get the latest package here. Hopefully installing that package and then running a yum install boost-devel will work for you.
