Error in zzboost.sh!

[sjtuytc]

the name of downloaded file should be boost_1_71_0.tar.gz therefore, line 24 should be tar xf downloads/boost_1_71_0.tar.gz -C src/$NAME --strip-components 1

[innerlee]

hi, what's the printed error message in terminal?

[sjtuytc]

the original line 24 is tar xf downloads/boost.tar.gz -C src/$NAME --strip-components 1 I thought it cannot find boost.tar.gz

[innerlee]

maybe, does it actually errors?

[innerlee]

Something to try:

• temporarily remove anaconda from PATH, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH
• rm src/boost.tar.gz and pull the setup repo and rerun ./zzboost.sh, I updated boost to 1.73.0 a few seconds ago.
• if the above does not work, could u report the gcc version?

[sjtuytc]

I solved it by clear the CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH, following https://github.com/boostorg/build/issues/468. I thought this problem is clear.

[innerlee]

glad you solved it. hope version 1.73.0 be smoother
