Hi, Menaka, An easy way I suggest is to install boost via package manager, for example: $ sudo apt-get install libboost-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-thread-dev libboost-serialization-dev libboost-python-dev libboost-regex-dev When installing boost from source, remember to add python-library $ ./bootstrap.sh --with-libraries=python,regex; ./b2; ./b2 install reference: http://www.rdkit.org/docs/Install.html#ubuntu-12-04-and-later hope it is helpful PS Other troubles may cause the error, for example:Problem:Your system has a version of boost installed in /usr/lib, but you would like to force the RDKit to use a more recent one.Solution:This can be solved by using cmake version 2.8.3 (or more recent) and providing the -D Boost_NO_SYSTEM_PATHS=ON argument:cmake -D BOOST_ROOT=/usr/local -D Boost_NO_SYSTEM_PATHS=ON .. reference: http://www.rdkit.org/docs/Install.html#frequently-encountered-problems Hope it is helpful.

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:1131 (message): Unable to find the requested Boost libraries. Boost version: 1.55.0 Boost include path: /home/menaka/Downloads/boost_1_55_0/include Could not find the following Boost libraries: boost_python No Boost libraries were found. You may need to set BOOST_LIBRARYDIR to the directory containing Boost libraries or BOOST_ROOT to the location of Boost.Call Stack (most recent call first): CMakeLists.txt:113 (find_package) I'd be very grateful if someone could help me in solving this issue.
