Hi all,

I get the following error when i build the ROS core on a arch linux x86_64 system. I do not know much but a bit of googling pointed me to believe that this could be a boost lib problem that should have been solved in version 1.50 of boost which i have installed but no luck. If someone could help me solve this would be helpful.

Thanks

The Error is below:

I encountered the same problem when installing ROS from the sources with rosinstall.

That is interesting. So the corresponding line in the cpp file is:

#if BOOST_VERSION >= 105000

I wonder what BOOST_VERSION expands to. I would actually just manually patch the c++ file locally. Just get rid of the #if, #else and #endif lines and keep the code in the if block in case your boost version is greater or equal than 1.50.

That's sort of an ugly hack but I guess the quickest way to get ROS compiled.

Hi Lorenz, Could not find the # if BOOST_VERSION anywhere in the source :( i tried grep -rl '#if BOOST' .

I did not understand the answer either before looking at https://github.com/ros/ros_comm/issues/10

The answer from Lorenz is correct, but Lorenz was pointing at the development version where things have been fixed. However in the fuerte release version, it is not fixed.

Nevertheless, simply apply the patch http://pastebin.com/ZFDD4Qhs in your ros_comm directory.

Another (cleaner?) fix is to change TIME_UTC in recorder.cpp to TIME_UTC_

This forum post might shed some more light on the problem: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=144593
