Hey,

I decided to upgrade my laptop to Oneiric today and after fixing quite a few new issues, I'm stuck on an issue I can't seem to get fixed. When rosmaking tabletop_object_detector I get the following error :

/usr/bin/ld: CMakeFiles/tabletop_object_recognition.dir/src/tabletop_object_recognition.o: undefined reference to symbol 'boost::system::system_category()'
/usr/bin/ld: note: 'boost::system::system_category()' is defined in DSO /usr/lib/libboost_system.so.1.46.1 so try adding it to the linker command line
/usr/lib/libboost_system.so.1.46.1: could not read symbols: Invalid operation

I tried various things, from reinstalling libboost1.46-all-dev to making with --pre-clean, nothing seemed to have helped.

Can anyone help me out with this probably minor issue?

ps. I'm still running ROS Electric.

I (hack)fixed it for now by adding -lboost_system to the target_link_libraries for tabletop_object_recognition, but it still beats me why this started to give errors now ...

I fixed it by adding set(CXX_FLAGS "-lboost_system") to CMakeLists.txt on Ubuntu 11.10

Most likely, you have old cmake build directories lying around from before the upgrade.

Try make clean in all the packages you build from source, or use rosmake --pre-clean.

Or, it may be easier to check out fresh working directories and rebuild everything.

UPDATE: did you remember to use rosbuild_add_boost_directories() in your CMakeLists.txt?

Thank you for your answer, but as I stated in my original post, I already tried rosmake with --pre-clean, that did not help unfortunately.

Sorry, I missed that in the details. Did you install the Oneiric version of ROS Electric? That requires updating sources.list.d.

Yes I forgot to mention that I did do that, I also did sudo apt-get remove --purge ros-electric-desktop-full and install it again afterwards, but I get the same linking error. Any other thoughts ?

Do you have libboost-system-dev installed?

joq ( 2012-04-29 06:31:46 -0500 )edit

I didn't, but after having it installed (and reverting the before mentioned hackfix) I get the same linking error.

Just to be clear: lib_boost_directories() does not work?
