How to install all the boost development libraries?
I am having trouble installing boost library completely it fails/skips several things that seem to be key for me to continue on to compiling a program with it. Here is what I get when I install boost,

Ive tried re-installing zlib, and other archive tools like bzip2 but no luck.
Package libboost-all-dev
installs all the development libraries. Excerpt of the package description:
This metapackage provides the complete Boost development environment, including all separately-packaged libraries.
Install it with:
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
If it fails to locate the package, make sure the universe repository is enabled.
Headers are located in /usr/include/boost
and libraries in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
or /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu
.
Not specific to Boost, but to get the header files (e.g.: bzlib.h) for a library, you need to install the dev
packages for it:
sudo apt-get install libbz2-dev
Generally, to find in what package(s) a file is contained, use apt-file
:
sudo apt-get install apt-file
apt-file update
apt-file search bzlib.h
I think there's a meta package for boost libraries though, although I don't remember the name for it.
