DOLFIN

'boost_thread' not being found during installation

Asked by Jack

During installation, boost_thread is not being found and consequently, the dolfin install doesn't complete. This has never happened before. This is on a Mac (Snow Leopard).

I've set Boost_LIBRARYDIR, BOOST_ROOT, BOOST_DIR, with the same result.

Here's the error message:

CMake Error at /opt/local/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:1123 (message):
  Unable to find the requested Boost libraries.

  Boost version: 1.44.0

  Boost include path: /opt/local/include

  The following Boost libraries could not be found:

          boost_thread

  Some (but not all) of the required Boost libraries were found. You may
  need to install these additional Boost libraries. Alternatively, set
  Boost_LIBRARYDIR to the directory containing Boost libraries or BOOST_ROOT
  to the location of Boost.

 Are you compiling dolfin via dorsal or on you own? In the latter case
you could add -DBoost_USE_MULTITHREADED:BOOL=ON
during the cmake configuration step. I had the same problem a couple of
days ago and Johannes pointed out the flag to be added.
Hope that helps you as well.

Thanks. That worked.

How do I enable GMP?

 I have no idea whether there is an appropriate cmake flag, but as a
quick hack you could probably comment out
line 85
set(DOLFIN_ENABLE_GMP OFF)
in the CMakeList.txt in your dolfin src path.
But I guess there is a more elegant way to activate or deactivate
certain optional packages.

I think you can do cmake -DDOLFIN_ENABLE_GMP=true on the command line as well.
