I’m having trouble updating load libraries when to the latest version of boost: $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/boost/stage/lib” $ ipython In [1]: import graph_tool.all … ImportError: libboost_thread.so.1.57.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Why is graph-tool still pointing at the old, nonexistent boost library?? I’m certain I’ve removed the old boost libraries, and sanity checked with the command $ ( cd / ; sudo updatedb ) $ locate boost | fgrep 1.57 # Empty result # Remove old graph-tool libraries by hand $ sudo rm -fr /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/graph_tool /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/graph_tool This really leaves me scratching my head because I’ve expunged boost version 1.57 from everywhere, downloaded/compiled/installed boost version 1.58 from scratch, and configured graph-tool to use all the boost 1.58 directories. Here’s the setup: # boost build and install $ cd /usr/local/boost_1_58_0/ $ sudo ln -s /usr/local/boost_1_58_0 /usr/local/boost $ ./bootstrap.sh $ ./b2 $ sudo ./b2 install # graph-tool build and install $ cd ~/Downloads/graph-tool-2.2.43/ $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/boost/stage/lib” $ ls -l /usr/local/boost lrwxrwxr-x. 1 root root 24 Jun 25 12:20 /usr/local/boost -> /usr/local/boost_1_58_0/ $ ./configure --with-sparsehash-prefix=google --with-boost=/usr/local/boost --with-boost-libdir=/usr/local/boost/stage/lib CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/boost" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/boost/stage/lib" $ make $ sudo make install

Thanks — that’s it. I had to set it to this to handle a local install of CGAL in /usr/local/lib/libCGAL.so.10.0.3:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/boost/stage/lib/"
All is working now.

You should not tell graph-tool itself, but rather the linker library. This is done via the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, which must include the directories to be search. In your case, before you start the python interpreter, you should do
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/boost_1_56_0/stage/lib/"
