Configure breaks on Mint 14 with libboost1.53 #4359

I am trying to build latest version and had to build from sources libboost. I used version 1.53.0 and when I run ./configure I get:

$./configure --enable-logging --enable-debug --enable-dht --with-boost-libdir=/home/<user>/Downloads/boost_1_53_0/stage/lib

configure: error: No working boost sleep implementation found. If on ubuntu 13.10 with libboost1.54-all-dev remove libboost.1.54-all-dev and use libboost1.53-all-dev

Is 1.53.0 the right version to use?

CAn you post the appropriate part of config.log?

This is the full config.log: http://pastebin.com/ubcuBCGv

You set your boost lib dir, but it's pulling your system boost headers:

configure:11458: g++ -o conftest -g3 -O0 -DDEBUG -Wall -Wextra -Wformat -Wformat-security -Wno-unused-parameter  -Wstack-protector -fstack-protector-all -fPIE  -DBOOST_SPIRIT_THREADSAFE -DHAVE_BUILD_INFO -D__STDC_FORMAT_MACROS  -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -pthread -I/usr/include   -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now -pie conftest.cpp  -L/home/<username>/Downloads/boost_1_53_0/stage/lib -lboost_system -lboost_filesystem -lboost_program_options -lboost_thread >&5
/tmp/ccs6ZJRV.o: In function `void boost::this_thread::sleep<boost::date_time::subsecond_duration<boost::posix_time::time_duration, 1000l> >(boost::date_time::subsecond_duration<boost::posix_time::time_duration, 1000l> const&)':
/usr/include/boost/thread/pthread/thread_data.hpp:149: undefined reference to `boost::this_thread::sleep(boost::posix_time::ptime const&)'

You'll need to use --with-boost as well. Something like: ./configure --with-boost=/home/<username>/Downloads/boost_1_53_0/stage --with-boost-libdir=/home/<username>/Downloads/boost_1_53_0/stage/lib The libdir part might not be needed, but shouldn't hurt.

Closing due to inactivity of OP.

It doesn't work for me on Debian Wheezy. I installed the libboost-all-dev package.

Here is the output of "dpkg -l | grep -i boost": http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=KZJpq8fZ

Maybe i will try to build boost from source now and hope this works with the configure flags set on it.
