Could you try just cmake -DBOOST_ROOT=/absolute/path/to/boost?

I'm not sure if relative directories are supported there, and I'm also not familiar with the :PATH part of your argument. I'm far from a CMake expert, so it's possible I'm not supporting most CMake users would expect to work, but the above is how I've used this option in the past.

[agarnitin86]

I tried running : cmake -DBOOST_ROOT=/home/nitin/git/Boost.NumPy/boost
But still got the same error. I guess it also wants me to set BOOST_INCLUDEDIR variable

[termoshtt]

BOOST_ROOT means the root of Boost library not the root of Boost.NumPy.
I guess that you did not install system boost library by e.g. apt-get install libboost-dev.
This project dose not contains Boost itself.
This flag is for compiling Boost.NumPy against Boost lib which you manually compiled.

[agarnitin86]

Hi Termoshtt, I installed libboost-dev and now i running the following the command :
cmake -DBOOST_ROOT=/usr/include/boost ..

I get a different error now
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.2/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:1202 (message):
Unable to find the requested Boost libraries.

Boost version: 1.54.0

Boost include path: /usr/include

      boost_python3

No Boost libraries were found. You may need to set BOOST_LIBRARYDIR to the
directory containing Boost libraries or BOOST_ROOT to the location of
Boost.

[termoshtt]

Please confirm libboost-python-dev is also installed.
I guess you only install boost_python (for Python2.7), and you could compile with it.

find_package(Boost COMPONENTS python REQUIRED) # not python3

[agarnitin86]

I installed libboost-dev and libboost-python-dev as u suggested. But still getting the same error. Also i dont know about find_package (where and how to run it.)

[termoshtt]

Also i dont know about find_package (where and how to run it.)

Sorry, I misunderstood what you are doing. Please forget the above comment :<

I reproduce same error when I install libboost-dev, and it is recovered when libboost-python-dev is installed. I guess -DBOOST_ROOT=/usr/include/boost might cause this error.

[agarnitin86]

From both the commands

1. cmake -DBOOST_ROOT=/usr/include/boost ..

2. cmake ..
   i get the same error :
   Could not find the following Boost libraries:

      boost_python3

[termoshtt]

Could you confirm libboost_python3.so or libboost_python-py34.so exits. Its name is different by distributions.

[agarnitin86]

I have following softlink files in directory :/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
libboost_python.so
libboost_python-py27.so
libboost_python-py34.so

[agarnitin86]

Hey, thanks for continuously helping me. I did the following and it worked
cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
sudo ln -s libboost_python-py34.so libboost_python3.so
cmake -DBOOST_ROOT=/usr/include/boost ..

Followed the link : belltailjp/selective_search_py#6

[termoshtt]

Good 👍

I think this issue has been resolved by #56, but it seems not complete :<
Could you let me know your environment?

• how to install Python3
• distribution (ubuntu?)

[agarnitin86]

I installed anaconda
I m using ubuntu 14.0.4

[termoshtt]

Thanks, I will test on such env.
