Make sure you install the boost and boost-devel packages

Edit: This thread may be useful https://github.com/shendurelab/LACHESIS/issues/35

[billyschmidt]

Hmm, installed libboost-dev-all but still getting the same error.

[codebam]

use sudo apt-get build-dep ncmpcpp to install all it's build dependencies

[billyschmidt]

successfully ran sudo apt-get build-dep ncmpcpp but still getting the same error from configure script

[codebam]

I'm not sure how to help you from here. Maybe @arybczak knows

[arybczak]

@billyschmidt Are you trying to install ncmpcpp from git or 0.8.2 from source? Try 0.8.2 and skip the step of running autogen.sh, maybe that'll generate somewhat helpful error message.

[billyschmidt]

Not sure what you mean @arybczak - from git and from source are the same thing aren't they? We're compiling a version from the source code? Skipping the autogen.sh moves me to the configure step, which fails since there is no makefile. Maybe I am missing something obvious?

[arybczak]

@billyschmidt I meant https://rybczak.net/ncmpcpp/stable/ncmpcpp-0.8.2.tar.bz2 - configure etc. files were already generated there.

after running configure: configure: error: libmpdclient >= 2.8 is required! however I have a current version:

dpkg -l | grep mpdclient
