### Ensure your boost version is recent enough
Mapnik master may require a boost version more recent than provided by your Ubuntu distribution.
You can use the latest Boost version (that works with Mapnik) by installing Boost from the `mapnik/boost` PPA:
```sh
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mapnik/boost
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libboost-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-python-dev libboost-regex-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-thread-dev
```
Note: You can see the boost version offered by your distro with the below command. And if you are using the above PPA then its version should show up as a candidate for installation:
```sh
apt-cache policy libboost-dev
``` ```
