libboost1.48.0 error

[ncullen93]

I have libboost1.54.0 installed, and tried to create a symbolic link using "sudo ln -s libboost.so.1.54.0 libboost.so.1.48.0" but then an error/warning comes about when I try to run DTB_dtk2dir saying "DTB_dtk2dir: Symbol `_ZTVN5boost15program_options16validation_errorE' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking" ... Any ideas how to fix this? Libboost.1.48.0 is very old, and I'm wondering if I can avoid having to download and build it myself.

I'm using UBUNTU 14.04 by the way.

Thanks
Nick

Additionally, when I try to build the debian package, I get this error:

dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_program_options.so.1.48.0 has an unexpected SONAME (libboost_program_options.so.1.54.0)

For those who come across this error in the future, I solved it by downloading and building the libboost-1.48.0 source code in a local directory, then copying the libboost_program_options.so.1.48.0 file into the /usr/lib/... directory.
