Been working with this issue when trying to run a program.

What I did:

  1. Updated my system using the following commands:

    sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get upgrade

  2. Installed the necessary dependencies using the following commands:

    sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libdb-dev \
libdb++-dev libboost-all-dev git libssl1.0.0-dbg
sudo apt-get install libdb-dev libdb++-dev libboost-all-dev \
libminiupnpc-dev libminiupnpc-dev libevent-dev libcrypto++-dev libgmp3-dev

  3. Extracted the tar file using the following command:

    wget gemstone.life/gemcoin-daemon-linux.tar.gz
tar -xzvf gemcoin-daemon-linux.tar.gz

  4. Installed the daemon:

    chmod +x gemstoned
sudo mv gemstoned /usr/bin/

  5. Create the config file:

    mkdir $HOME/.gemstone
nano $HOME/.gemstone/gemstone.conf

  6. Pasted the following lines in yourcoin.conf:

    rpcuser= (left blank for the forum) 
rpcpassword= (left blank for the forum) 
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
listen=1
server=1
txindex=1
daemon=1

  7. Tried starting the node with the following command.

The error I am getting is

error while loading shared libraries: libboost_system.so.1.54.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have used Google, I have researched and read and read about issue and have tried uninstalling, purging, and reinstalling liboost among other things. I am using Ubuntu 16.04. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

@Nageek17's fix seemed to work for me. So essentially, even for newer versions you could try to run something like:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_program_options.so.1.71.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_program_options.so.1.65.1

and for the required libboost_* package.

Your library probably got updated to a newer version.

Just create a link to the newer versions

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_program_options.so.1.65.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_program_options.so.1.54.0
