Hi Mark,

Thank you very much. The link was very helpful. Applying 

-DBoost_NO_BOOST_CMAKE=BOOL:ON to the following cmake command 

cmake -DBUILD_PACKAGES=PyBDSM -DUSE_LOG4CPLUS=OFF -DUSE_LOG4CXX=OFF -DBoost_NO_BOOST_CMAKE=BOOL:ON ../.. 

solved the problem.

Thanks again and sorry for the noise.

Valentin

Hi there,

Recently I've installed boost and boost-devel and some other packages
related to the boost package.

I then compiled libboost myself with a custom prefix. All the libs are
located in  /data/users/myuser/BOOST/lib.

The program I'm trying to compile requires libboost_date_time-d.a but
this cannot be find anywhere.  This is what the program reports:

$ cmake -DBUILD_PACKAGES=PyBDSM -DUSE_LOG4CPLUS=OFF -DUSE_LOG4CXX=OFF

Is there something wrong with a symlink that is not been created
properly during installation ?

Thanks in advance.

What boost packages are currently installed?
rpm -qa \*boost\*

The .a I believe is provided by boost-static (at least in SL7). Only the
.so are in boost-date-time.

If you compiled your own libboost, is there a reason you are still
compiling against the RPM packaged version? I'm a bit confused...
