Mongodb boost version lower then that of AUR

So earlier i installed mongodb, and i ran it and it said "libboost_program_options.so.1.78.0: cannot open file", so i installed boost and boost-libs. and they are both 1.80.0-3 and mongo requires 1.78.0. how do i fix this? or is it fixable at all?

Re: Mongodb boost version lower then that of AUR

You have to rebuild your mongodb against the current boost/boost-libs version .

There are several mongodb packages in aur, which one are you using ?

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Re: Mongodb boost version lower then that of AUR

There are some mongodb related programs in archlinux repos, but mongodb itself is not among them.

We need to investigate a bit .
Please post the exact command you ran to start mongodb and the output it gives on terminal.

i ran: pacman -S mongodb, to install

and then i ran
$ mongo
libboost_program_options.so.1.78.0: cannot open file
$ mongod
libboost_program_options.so.1.78.0: cannot open file

I removed mongodb to rebuild it... (even tho i have no idea how). so i can't show u the exact output. but it is this one with the command name in the beginning

Re: Mongodb boost version lower then that of AUR

mongodb used to be in archlinux repos, but was removed due to licensing issues .

The maintainer of https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mongodb provides prebuilt binaries including instructions how to add their repo to pacman.conf

Since mongodb is mentioned to take lots of time and resources to build, I think you should consider using that.

The first permanent comment links to the build service / instructions .

Re: Mongodb boost version lower then that of AUR

What does `pacman -Ss mongodb` show?
