Failed to find boost at need system thread

[Leonard-Jeffrey]

After I excute "cmake .", there occurs an error ：
“-- Could NOT find Boost: missing: system thread (found /usr/local/boost/lib/cmake/Boost-1.79.0/BoostConfig.cmake (found version "1.79.0"))
CMake Error at cryptoTools/CMakeLists.txt:74 (message): Failed to find boost at Need system thread”

what 's the reason?

Maybe your system has installed Boost whose version is not right. Then you can remove the Boost in your system.

This is a rough solution，How to ensure boost version compatibility？

You can find the right version information in the cmake files.

Hello, I also encountered the same problem: Failed to find boost at need system thread. I uninstalled the old version of boost and installed the new version of boost as mentioned above, but it still doesn’t work.
