Re: [Quantlib-dev] QuantLib-1.42.1 not building on a GCP Ubuntu VM

[Raj S <raj...@ho...>]

I tried Ubuntu on a spare PC I had and had the same problem. Then this is the problem on a GCP VM. Sorry about the mixed messaging but the subject line is in correct (read it as Debian).

I add some of the logs below

root@instance-20260508-170800:/home/share# apt-get install libboost-all-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
libboost-all-dev is already the newest version (1.74.0.3).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.

Here’s the associated config.log when I run ./configure
