[SOLVED] I got a problem with importing libboost

When I compile graph-tool from AUR, there are no error messages. But When I want to start it, I get the following:
ImportError: libboost_thread.so.1.54.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
When I look into my lib folder, I realize that my version is libboost_thread.so.1.55.0. What did go wrong during compilation?

edit: karol's Post solved it for me: Recompiling Cgal with the new boost packages. Thank you!

We can't know what went wrong unless we see the logs or the compilation output. Post that here. If its too long use pastebin or hastebin

You need to compile cgal https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cgal/ as it's a dependency. Did you do it just before compiling graph-tool or e.g. 3 weeks ago?
Is your system fully up to date?

Re: [SOLVED] I got a problem with importing libboost

When dealing with AUR packages, you need to recompile all of them, not only graph-tool, but also its dependencies (unless they're in the official repos). It you don't, you system is not fully up to date.

Please recompile cgal and see if it fixes your issue.
