Hi Victor, Assuming you have the directory: /path/to/boost_1_59_0 containing 'lib' (with the boost libraries) and 'boost' (with the headers), just set the environmental variable BOOST_HOME to the above path. If you use bash, you can do: export BOOST_HOME=/path/to/boost_1_59_0 (replacing /path/to/boost_1_59_0 appropriately). Then wipe your build directory and run ccmake from scratch. It should now find your pre-installed Boost libraries. Cheers, Chris On 09/04/16 02:31, Victor Eijkhout wrote:
I can not find in the documentation how to specify the Boost library.
1. I’ve unzipped the tar.bz2 file in the ThirdParty directory, but nektar still tries to download the tar.bz2 file.
2. I have a boost 1.59 installed, and the bin directory is in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH but the installation is not finding or using it.
Victor.
