#15 Can't compile BurrTools

[Anonymous]

When I try to compile BurrTools 0.6.2, I get the following error (Ubuntu 10.04):

In file included from lib/solvethread.h:27,
from lib/solvethread.cpp:21:
lib/thread.h:24:28: error: boost/thread.hpp: No such file or directory
In file included from lib/solvethread.h:27,
from lib/solvethread.cpp:21:
lib/thread.h:31: error: ‘boost’ has not been declared
lib/thread.h:31: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of ‘thread’ with no type
lib/thread.h:31: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘thread’
make[2]: *** [lib/solvethread.o] Error 1

Am I missing a package I'm supposed to install?

I installed the libboost dev packages, including libboost-thread, but I still get an error on "make":

Regarding your initial issue, according to the output from ./configure there is a check for the thread library. However the configure script doesn't halt at that point.

An example configure script output below:
...
checking whether the Boost::Thread library is available... no
checking for libpng-config... /usr/bin/libpng-config
checking whether -R must be followed by a space... neither works
checking for gethostbyname... yes
checking for connect... yes
checking for remove... yes
checking for shmat... yes
checking for IceConnectionNumber in -lICE... yes
checking for OpenGL... yes
checking for nm... nm
checking whether FLTK file function use 64 bit structures... no

The linker issues can be resolved by installing the package libboost-thread1.40-dev in Ubuntu 10.4 LTS.
