          @aret777 said in How to install Boost library? How to add library to project?:

          libboost_program_options.so.1.81.0 => not found

          There's the culprit. Again, I'm a little out of my depth on this, but it appears as though you need to furnish a path to this library.

            Run ldd again with LD_LIBRARY_PATH updated to contain the path to the boost libraries.

              @SGaist if he's updated LD_LIBRARY_PATH within Creator, will the terminal in Creator pick up that addition, or does he need to modify LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the shell?

                @mzimmers Which shell are you referring to ?

                  @SGaist well, what I meant was, if he's modifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the run configuration, that change won't be reflected if he opens up a terminal window and runs ldd, will it?

                    @mzimmers correct, that's why I am asking to redo it with LD_LIBRARY_PATH modified.

                      Yes, but...not just modified within Creator; he needs to export an updated path from the terminal window from which he'll then run ldd, correct?

                          Also, how to export updated path?

                            You added the path in Qt Creator, so when you run your app from Creator, you should pick up libraries from that variable.

                            The scope of this environment variable is only within Creator.

                            So, now, from the same terminal session (shell) that you want to use for ldd, you need to do the same thing. Instructions on setting environment variables can be found anywhere on the web; here is one instance.
