As I write this SourceForge is in "Disaster Recovery mode", which is interfering with the RethinkDB build system's ability to download the Boost
library. However, the file needed is still available, so long as you download it using a browser with JavaScript enabled. Unfortunately, without making the system very complicated, we can't work around this in our scripts but you can help the system out in the mean time:
-
Download the file with a browser: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/boost/boost/1.56.0/boost_1_56_0.tar.bz2
-
Unpack it the file (e.g.:
tar -xjf boost_1_56_0.tar.bz2
) -
Rename the folder to
boost_1.56.0
(e.g.:mv boost_1_56_0 boost_1.56.0
), and move it to theexternal
folder in your rethinkdb source folder.
This will allow the RethinkDB build system to find it rather than trying to download it again.
