cannot find -lboost_filesystem

[robin-sto]

Hello,

When installing into an R/4.2.3 environment, I am getting this error:
g++ -std=gnu++11 -shared -L/usr/local/R/4.2.3/lib64/R/lib -L/usr/local/lib64 -o velocyto.R.so RcppExports.o points_within.o routines.o -lboost_filesystem -lboost_system -lstdc++ -L/usr/local/R/4.2.3/lib64/R/lib -lRlapack -L/usr/local/R/4.2.3/lib64/R/lib -lRblas -fopenmp -lgfortran -lm -lquadmath -L/usr/local/R/4.2.3/lib64/R/lib -lR
/usr/local/binutils/2.30.0/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_filesystem
/usr/local/binutils/2.30.0/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_system

The install command: devtools::install_github("velocyto-team/velocyto.R")

Can you please help? Thanks.

Hi, I was running into the same problem on Ubuntu, which can be solved by installing the following dependencies: sudo apt install libboost-filesystem-dev and sudo apt install libboost-system-dev. You may try to install the equivalent dependencies on your system.
