libboost_system.so.1.66.0: cannot open shared object file [SOLVED]

Hello,

After upgrade the system (boost), receive this message when trying to run Eiskaltdcpp:

eiskaltdcpp-qt: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_system.so.1.66.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Could you help me pointing the right direction on how to solve a problem of a package looking for an older version of a library?

I used Yay to install it from AUR.

Cheers!

You need to rebuild it again from the aur to link against the correct .so file

Hi ugjka,

Thanks. When you say I need to "rebuild" from AUR, do you mean this?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … g_packages

I reinstalled from AUR using YAY and thought that as it was cloned and compiled, it would link against the correct libraries, but it didn't worked...
It still asks for the old version of liboost.

Doing like in the link will make it link against the correct library?

Cheers.

Well..

it seems that the problem was that I wasn't rebuilding ALL the packages that were needed.
Thanks!
