Many thanks for including the full error/output (and not posting screenshots), but please do not use
blockquotefor it. It completely messes up the formatting and reflows the text, rendering theaptoutput nearly unreadable.if you have the option, please
edityour question and replace the text with a fresh copy-paste and use the Preformatted Text button instead (the one with101010on it).Also: please tell us which OS this is and which version. You also tagged this with
cturtle, which is a ROS version from 2010. I doubt you're working with that.Finally: we see this in the output:
Do you have a newer version of Boost installed? Possibly from a PPA or as part of another program that needs the newer version? That could cause this issue.
Thanks for the tip on posting questions - I'll edit it when i get home when i have access to my ROS pc. Its Ubuntu 14.04. Your right, im working working with ros indigo, not cturtle. In terms of boost, should i install a older version? I found this post on stack exchange https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1... to install a older version.
The default libboost for Ubuntu Trusty is libboost-dev_1.54.0.1ubuntu1. If you have that, it should be OK. If you don't have that version, the ROS binary packages provided by the buildfarm will not install.
I was just wondering whether you have some other conflicting version installed. It could be a red-herring.
