Downloaded latest version from http://openvrml.org/

Working with Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS (x86_64)

Tried to configure it without success:

alex@pc:~/Downloads/openvrml-0.18.9$ ./configure
...
checking for boost_thread-mt library... no
configure: error: in `/home/alex/Downloads/openvrml-0.18.9':
configure: error: libboost_thread-mt not found
See `config.log' for more details

Libraries seem to be properly installed:

alex@pc:~$ ls -l /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu | grep -E "boost_thread|boost_filesystem|boost_system"
-rw-r--r--  1 root root   217692 ene 16  2014 libboost_filesystem.a

Header files seem to be installed too:

alex@pc:~$ ls -l /usr/include/boost/thread.hpp

alex@pc:~$

  • If you compare the Trusty filelist versus the Precise filelist for the underlying libboost_thread1.xy-dev package, it appears that the -mt suffix has been dropped. The openvrml ./configure script provides a BOOST_LIB_SUFFIX environment variable: running BOOST_LIB_SUFFIX= ./configure appears to find the library, but there is a further (undefined reference) error that results in the script failing at the same point. – steeldriver May 17 '15 at 14:56
  • ... try BOOST_LIB_SUFFIX= LIBS=-lboost_system ./configure – steeldriver May 17 '15 at 15:05
