cmake can't find boost

I'm trying to compile the software "TrinityCore". The process is explained quite thoroughly here:

After installing the dependencies, which include libboost-all-dev I was using cmake as explained. It stopped configuring when looking for some boost libraries (see below).

The strange thing is that I installed the required packages and there are directories in

/usr/include

that match the names of the missing libraries.

I also tried the solution here: Cmake Couldn't find boost but unfortunately without success.

Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in regards!

Here the exact error message:

 Unable to find the requested Boost libraries. Boost version: 1.58.0 Boost include path: /usr/include Could not find the following static Boost libraries: boost_system boost_filesystem boost_thread boost_program_options boost_iostreams 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. If you still have problems search on forum for TCE00020.

Strangely, only reinstalling Ubuntu Server 16.04.1 helped. Then, I didn't install

libboost-all-dev

but only the packages required by Trinitycore. Now

make

is runnig after cmake without any problems.

By adding the options

-DBoost_<missing package>_RELEASE=/usr/include/boost/<missing package>/

cmake can find it. Odd, because these are just subdirectories of

/usr/include/boost

which was already found by cmake.
