Cant get Quantlib to work with fedora 5 and gcc 4.1.1

[Max Giolitti]

Hello,
I cant compile a simple hello world with the #include <ql/quantlib.hpp> at the top.
I traced the error to this line in a boost file #include <utility>. Can someone help?

I did yuminstall quantlib and the boost libraries are already in the system.
thx for your help
Max.

P.S. I noticed that "creating a business model for quantLib" was put under minor tasks to complete. It is not so simple! I can probably help there.

Hi Max,

I use QL (version 0.3.13) on FC5 with gcc 4.

What version of QuantLib and boost do you have?

Thank you Eric. (ccing all the alias) I am using 0.3.13 (although yum says .14...) for boost I am using the version in fedora or the 33, i tried both.
This is the error:
In file included from /usr/include/boost/config.hpp:40,
                 from /usr/include/ql/qldefines.hpp:28,
                 from QL.c:18:
/usr/include/boost/config/select_stdlib_config.hpp:20:19: error: utility: No such file or directory

I traced it back to a boost include file that just says (among other things)
#include <utility>.
Not sure how to cleanly configure this.
Thx

Strange. <utility> is a standard header---it should come with your
compiler. What happens if you write a simple file, say,

======test.cpp====
#include <utility>

int main() { return 0; }
==================

and execute `g++ test.cpp` from a shell?

Later,

I get an error also with the simple program luigi suggests.
luigi.c:1:19: error: utility: No such file or directory
.the original error was with the simple program
#include <stdio.h>
#include <ql/quantlib.hpp>
main()
{
          printf ("Hello Linux World!\n");
}
I looked inside the include directories, and I do see a utility directory. Given that to get this far it had to see the boost includes.
this is from config.hpp:
// if we don't have a std library config set, try and find one:
#if !defined(BOOST_STDLIB_CONFIG) && !defined(BOOST_NO_STDLIB_CONFIG) && !defined(BOOST_NO_CONFIG)
#  include <boost/config/select_stdlib_config.hpp>
#endif
now select stdlib has this:
#include <utility>

I didn't want to modify the boost core files by putting a path, I assume there is something I havent configured.
thanks for the help!

OK, so there's a problem with the configuration of your compiler.
This is unrelated to QuantLib or Boost.

Luigi advised you to name the file test.cpp, not luigi.c as you have
above.  I wonder if you're mistakenly picking up a C environment
rather than a C++ environment?

For me, using the test code suggested by Luigi, whether I name the
file test.cpp or test.c, it compiles fine using the "g++" command.
If, however, I compile instead with the  "gcc" command, I get the
exact same error message as you:

$ gcc test.c
test.c:1:19: error: utility: No such file or directory

Please confirm - what result do you get when performing the test
exactly as described by Luigi - naming the file "test.cpp" (even
though the extension seems not to matter) and using the command "g++
test.cpp"?

(gcc is the compiler, and g++ is a front end which configures the
environment for C++).

My FC5 installation includes gcc version 4.1.0.  On my machine the
location of the "utility" standard header file is:

/usr/include/c++/4.1.0/utility

That's a the standard system include directory, i.e. g++ is configured
such that "include <utility>" finds the above file automatically with
no need to specify the location of the file.

How does the above compare to your environment?

When I installed FC from the CDs, I chose to install the developer
tools, and all of the above was configured automatically.  How did you
install gcc, did you follow a similar procedure, or did you start
without gcc and later install it manually?

Eric

Thanks Eric, by using g++ I was able to make some progress. Now I have the following problem. Using
====hello.cpp=========
#  include <ql/quantlib.hpp>

int main()
{
  printf("Hello World of Linux\n");
  exit(0);
}

and compiling using g++ -o hello hello.cpp I get a large list of errors. The first 2 are

/tmp/ccgkrAL1.o: In function `boost::shared_ptr<QuantLib::Observable>::operator->() const':
hello.cpp:(.text._ZNK5boost10shared_ptrIN8QuantLib10ObservableEEptEv[boost::shared_ptr<QuantLib::Observable>::operator->() const]+0x2f): undefined reference to `boost::assertion_failed(char const*, char const*, char const*, long)'
/tmp/ccgkrAL1.o: In function `boost::shared_ptr<QuantLib::DiscretizedAsset>::operator->() const':
hello.cpp:(.text._ZNK5boost10shared_ptrIN8QuantLib16DiscretizedAssetEEptEv[boost::shared_ptr<QuantLib::DiscretizedAsset>::operator->() const]+0x2f): undefined reference to `boost::assertion_failed(char const*, char const*, char const*, long)'

any wisdom? Sorry for all the amateur questions!

I installed the compiler automatically. The boost libraries where installed automatically, although I didn't know this at the time so I downloaded them and did
bjam "-sTOOLS=gcc" install

on top of what I had.
