Hi,

I got this message during the linking process:

Any clue?

Could you give more info on your OS, compiler, ... ? I've tested vera++ recently with boost 1.53 on Mac OS X - It was working without any problem. I'll retest it soon.

[Davide Faconti]

sure.

OS: Ubuntu 12.04 GCC: gcc version 4.6.4

Anyway, before you spend time with it, let me try to rebuild boost. I will let you know ;)

[ThArGos]

Thanks for your feedback. Can you tell me the result of the following command please: apt-cache policy libboost-program-options-dev

Thanks.

[Davide Faconti]

good hint!

That it is, it is my fault (I will investigate how to fix it myself).

libboost-program-options-dev:
  Installed: 1.48.0.2
  Candidate: 1.48.0.2
  Version table:
 *** 1.48.0.2 0
        500 http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

[Davide Faconti]

My fault. Mixed headers and libraries of different versions

[ThArGos]

No problem. Thanks for your feedback. Best regards.
