According to REP 3, ROS Hydro was meant to support Boost 1.48. Everytime I try to install the libboost-1.48-dev package, however, the package manager tells me it will remove all the ros-hydro packages.
Why does that happen and how can I use both simultaneously, if at all possible? I need to upgrade in order to compile the PCL latest trunk from source. Thanks!
The source installation of ROS will compile with other versions of boost, but due to the possibility of binary incompatibility, the binary versions of ROS must be installed with the same version of boost that they were built with.
If you'd like to use ROS with a version of boost other than the standard version, you'll have to build ROS from source.
Doesn't the OSRF compile all packages in their build farm, though? Since Boost 1.48 is available in the repositories for Precise Pangolin, I don't see why they'd do that. Thanks for the tip though, I'll try compiling from source!
I tried a source install of ROS Desktop after removing everything ROS-related and installing libboost1.48-all-dev. The problem is that even doing a source install leads to this issue, since rosdep considers libboost-all-dev as a dependency. Would you have any suggestions on what to try next?
BTW, rosdep also fails to install libogre-dev because it relies on the defaults for libboost-date-time-dev and libboost-thread-dev as well
It sounds like libogre-dev is in the same situation as the ROS binaries: they depend on boost, so they depend on the default version of boost on the system. You can either remove all of the ros packages that depend on ogre, or build and install ogre from source on top of your newer boost.
Seems like a hell of compiling everything in the universe from source is ahead of me :) and all of that just because I need the latest pcl and it needs newer boost libs than 1.46... I wish I could just fix these package dependencies manually. Thanks for the help!
