Error while trying to install salmon

Question

[kai_bio]

I am currently working on an Ubuntu platform and have tried to install salmon software into my working conda environment using the command

conda install salmon

But when I am trying to get the manual page of salmon I am getting an error

salmon: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_filesystem.so.1.60.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have tried to locate libboost_filesystem and my filesystem is libboost_filesystem.so.1.74.0 is it because of the difference in the filesystems? If not how can I resolve the issue?

Thank you in advance

Donwloading the package from conda (https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/boost/files?version=1.60.0) worked for me

wget https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/boost/1.60.0/download/linux-64/boost-1.60.0-py35_3.tar.bz2

conda install boost-1.60.0-py35_3.tar.bz2
