Update: the problem is that, when I installed the newest version of dealii, the boost version that I had separately installed was 1.67.0. Instead of using the version bundled in dealii (version 1.70.0), dealii configured with the separately installed version. However, whenever it does the compilation check, it #includes the bundled version of boost. I'm not sure why it does that, because when I run a loose source file (e.g. `boost_test.cpp` in my home directory) with boost included, it uses the separately installed version.
In any case, I think the fix will be to uninstall boost, and then re-install dealii so that it uses its bundled version. Just wanted to make a note about it because I think this is unintended behavior. - Lucas On Tuesday, August 10, 2021 at 3:46:17 PM UTC-5 Lucas Myers wrote: > Hi folks, > > I'm getting the error "The version number of boost that you are compiling > with does not match the version number of boost found during deal.II's > configuration step." when I try to compile the first tutorial program.
