Hi, > Because any other library version of Boost than the one used for building > the binary in the first place will not work. > (And if it would work then you are just really lucky that > incompatibilities in the ABI do not hit you.) ah, ok, I see your missunderstanding. No, I don't want that binary code do use different versions of boost. My idea was that ros-packages can use e.g. the libboost 1.42 which comes with some distros, but if that distro doesn't provide this version, it can fallback to a libboost 1.42 which is provided by the ros ecosystem.
