Hello,

I tried to install the Fairsoft (external packages) on Ubuntu 16.04 but I get this error when I call the ./configure.sh:

This version is okay. Don't install cmake as external package.
*** Package gtest is OK ***
*** Package gsl is OK ***
*** Unpacking boost_1_61_0.tar.bz2 ..............
--E-- Cannot unpack package boost

So I tried to unpack it directly inside the basic folder and says "Unrecognized archive format".

What should I try now?

Thank you!!

Hi,

the reason for the problem is a problem of the download server from SourceForge. If you check the file you will find the text below with the explanation. You have to remove the file "basics/boost_1_61_0.tar.bz2" and try again later. Please check the twitter web page for updates (https://twitter.com/hashtag/SourceForge?src=hash).

Ciao

Florian
