issue with installation xssp-3.0.2 about hssp HOT 6 CLOSED

What is the location of your boost headers?

You could try:

locate boost | grep version

from hssp.

Hi Sorry for my late response.

the output of "locate boost | grep version" is

I see!

Your boost is not installed at a default location, so the compiler can't find it. The configure script should have said the following:

checking for boostlib >= 1.48... configure: We could not detect the boost libraries (version 1.48 or higher). If you have a staged boost library (still not installed) please specify $BOOST_ROOT in your environment and do not give a PATH to --with-boost option.  If you are sure you have boost installed, then check your version number looking in <boost/version.hpp>. See http://randspringer.de/boost for more documentation.

Best is to just run sudo ./b2 install from your boost directory, or install it as a package. What is your operating system?

If you have no root rights, then you could try installing it at a different location:

./b2 install --prefix PREFIX

where PREFIX is a directory where you want boost to be installed.
Then include this directory with the '--with-boost' option on the configure script.

Thank you very much.

From what I understand I have to install boost?

I have Ubuntu 18.04 as my OS. Could you please tell me from where can I get the package (in for of tar.gz may be) for boost or which boost should I install, in that case I can use wget.

And I have sudo privilege.

Thank you.

On ubuntu you can simply run:

sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev

This installs boost.

Thank you very much. It is installed now. It was so simple & yet I could not figure it out. Thank you for prompt response and all the help.
