What installed boost into /opt/ros? You should be able to use the apt version on Lucid.<br><br>Josh<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, May 12, 2010 at 5:36 PM, Nikhil Karnad <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:karnad@cs.umn.edu">karnad@cs.umn.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Any help is appreciated. Here are the specifics:<br>
<br>+ Operating system is Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid) 64-bit:<br>
Linux beast 2.6.32-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 28 13:28:05 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux<br><br>+ First installed prerequisites: <span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">build-essential python-yaml cmake subversion wget</span><br>

<br>+ The files checkout correctly, but compilation does not work and exits with an error. The lines at the end are:<br><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> [ 92%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/roslib.dir/src/package.o</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">

<br>The complete log from "buildfailures-with-context.txt" is available at the following pastebin link:<br><a href="http://pastebin.com/yi4tzxnm" target="_blank">http://pastebin.com/yi4tzxnm</a><br><br>My guess: the shared object in /opt/ros/lib for libboost is a 32-bit ELF, whereas I need a 64-bit version. I deduced this by comparing the default boost shared object with the one in the /opt/ros library:<br>
<br><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">$ file /opt/ros/lib/libboost_thread-gcc42-mt-1_37.so.1.37.0 </span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">/opt/ros/lib/libboost_thread-gcc42-mt-1_37.so.1.37.0: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, stripped</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">

<br>Could anyone tell me how I can recompile the libraries that go into /opt/ros/lib? Or more generally, how can I get it to work without using a different (32-bit) Linux?<br><br>Thanks in advance!<br><font color="#888888">Nikhil<br>
