libboost_system version mismatch 1.55 vs 1.58

[Curtingham]

After installing all dependencies and building the most recent release, running dashd returns: dashd: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_system.so.1.55.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I've checked and the current version is 1.58, located here /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_system.so.1.58.0 New to creating issues, sorry if this isn't appropriate use of this feature. Thanks in advance for any help

Hello there, I just tried to build from scratch on fresh vps (ubuntu 14.04) and it works fine for me... So I have few questions about your setup (and some suggestions):

• What OS (version) do you have?
• Are you trying to build in "old" folder or is it a new one (i.e. you cloned it and it's the first build)?

If it's an old folder:

• try to run "./autogen.sh && ./configure" before running "make"
• try to build via "make clean && make"
• try to configure with "--disable-shared"

And finally - make sure you are actually trying to run newly built binary and not an older one if you had one before.

OS is ubuntu 15.10, perhaps that's where the issue is? It's a new system. After installing, all that's been done is install dependencies for dash and bitcoin, compile dash and bitcoin, and run bitcoind (Bitcoind has been working without a hitch). I believe I did run autogen.sh first, and I know I ran configure when I compiled this.

I'm working on ansible playbooks to automate the deployment of *coind's. I'll test to see if it's an issue specifically with 15.10 by building a new binary following your suggestion, and running the playbook to initialize dashd on both an installation of 15.10 and an installation of 14.04. Once I get a chance to test that out, I'll follow up here.

Thanks so much for your help!

Well, I was curious so I spun up 15.10 and it compiled and ran successfully too... Could there be smth in your setup that interfere with build process? I guess it could be helpful to see some actual commands you use to install dependencies/build binaries. For example I made this snippet for myself to have everything in one place to make install/build process on new machine nice and easy:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool autotools-dev autoconf pkg-config libssl-dev libboost-all-dev libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev git htop vim
sudo fallocate -l 4G /swapfile
sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile
# sudo vi /etc/fstab
# /swapfile   none    swap    sw    0   0
git clone https://github.com/dashpay/dash/
cd dash
./autogen && ./configure --disable-tests && make -j 2

Did you run "apt-get upgrade" between build and running dashd? Or maybe Ubuntu's automatic update feature is switched on.

If you built dashd with 1.55.0 and the upgrade installed 1.58.0 in between you'll get this error message because dashd was dynamically linked.

I have created a Dash PPA for Ubuntu --> #880 - so no need to compile Dash by yourself anymore.

Just do

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dash.org/dash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install dashd dash-qt

and you should be set. Closing this ticket now.
