Building Mapnik from source in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

[dhthong92]

As title, I have tried to build the latest release of Mapnik from source in Ubuntu 16.04. I've already updated to gcc5 and used it to recompile boost 1.63 as well. After link mapnik with the new boost, try to build and it still get some errors, here it is:

I know the issue of std::basic_string with c11 and already add the flag D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0 when compiling mapnik but nothing changed.

Any idea?

What does ldd utils/shapeindex/shapeindex show?
Try without and with LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/path/to/boost/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"

I've already tried but still got the same errors :(

Same issue on Ubuntu 16.04, boost = 1.58
