Anyone get the linux wallet running on ubuntu 14.04? An "ldd cloakcoin-qt" gives me:

   libboost_system.so.1.53.0 => not found
   libboost_filesystem.so.1.53.0 => not found
   libboost_program_options.so.1.53.0 => not found
   libboost_thread.so.1.53.0 => not found

The ubuntu repos don't have 1.53 (they have 1.54), and I tried some symlinks, but it looks like some files might be different (unless my install is borked). Any help would be appreciated, or maybe a newer build  Smiley.

For others having this issue, try the solution posted here: http://pastebin.com/MukM8wbE

So...I had a tough time while beta testing the linux wallet on a fresh VM install of Ubuntu 14.04 desktop LTS.  I could not get it to run.  I tried using softlinks from newer libboost, but it wouldn't run for me.  I rolled back a VM to Ubuntu desktop 13.10 and installed the dependencies and bam...worked.  When I did some (a lot of) googling, I found this:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/372703/how-to-install-boost-1-53-or-1-54-from-terminal

It says, "If you need boost (or libboost) 1.53, you must use Saucy."  Ubuntu 14.04 uses Trusty.  I then updated my 13.10 linux to 14.04 via the software manager (not a fresh 14.04 install).  And the linux wallet still works (presumably because I fixed the dependencies while on 13.10).  Now, I'm by no means a Linux expert.  At all.  So if you find a solution where it works on 14.04 out of the box, I'd be happy to hear it.  But this is what I did in my testing.

hallo!

i found a solution for this issue.

i use debian 7.5 and there are this libs in version 1.53 also not available. so i installed ubuntu 13.10 in a virtualbox and downloaded the missing deb files there. than copied them to my default system and installed them.

Code:
# at ubuntu 13.10 in the architecture which equals to your target system
sudo -i
apt-get udpate
apt-get download libboost1.53.0
apt-get download libboost1.53-dev
apt-get download libboost-system1.53-dev
apt-get download libboost-filesystem1.53.0
apt-get download libc6
apt-get download libboost-program-options1.53.0
apt-get download libboost-thread1.53.0

Code:
# at your target system
# install the downloaded files on your target system with
sudo dpkg -i

i made a tar.gz file with all files included which are necessary for a 64-bit debian/ubuntu/linux mint os but i cant upload files here... if you tell me where i can do this without an extra registration i will do it! Wink
