In trying to run a bin file i recieve the following error message
error while loading shared libraries: libboost_system.so.1.55.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I usually use Synaptic package manager for managing my packages, and it shows that libboost1.55 is installed.
I searched for my error and found this page which mentioned that I should sudo apt-get install libboost1.55*
Upon running that command I get the following error:
libboost1.55-dbg : Conflicts: libboost1.54-dbg but 1.54.0-4ubuntu3.1 is to be installed
libboost1.55-dev : Conflicts: libboost1.54-dev but 1.54.0-4ubuntu3.1 is to be installed
libboost1.55-doc : Conflicts: libboost1.54-doc but 1.54.0-4ubuntu3.1 is to be installed
libboost1.55-tools-dev : Conflicts: libboost1.54-tools-dev
Conflicts: libboost1.54-tools-dev:i386

I have been trying for a while to fix this error by visiting SO questions, I am very new to Ubuntu as I have been using Mac for development until now, and am not sure how to correct this error from here.
