Disclaimer: I am a Linux noob and I don't know anything about C++.

I'm trying to configure graph-tool on Ubuntu 16.04 with Python 3.5.1. I have
installed all of the prerequisites, and I ran Everything worked up until I
got this error:

I tried using the fix suggested here
<http://main-discussion-list-for-the-graph-tool-project.982480.n3.nabble.com/Compiling-v1-13-dev-configure-error-No-usable-boost-iostreams-found-td4026438.html#a4026443&gt;
, but I got the same error when I ran
which is the path I got from my Boost installation

I am not sure how to fix this and would really appreciate if someone who
knows more about Linux and graph-tool could help me.

Assuming you installed boost yourself cf.
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_61_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html,
after running bootstrap.sh, you would run

    ./b2 install

This is not enough for graph-tool, and to install iostreams as well, you
would run

    ./b2 install --with-iostreams

When installing graph-tool on CentOS 7, after this I also had to install
--with-coroutine, and a few more (which I do not remember).

The above answer is somewhat generic, but seeing that you use Ubuntu, it
may be that your package manager allows you to do this more easily, for
example using a command like

    sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev

Good luck!

I think the easiest for you would be to use the Ubuntu packages
available in the website.

If you want help with the compilation you need to give more precise
information, including the options you passed to configure, the whole
output as well as the full contents of the config.log file.

Best,

I will try what Frank Takes suggested first. If that doesn't work I will
provide you with more information.
