I am trying to get some software called pycuda (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pycuda) installed on ubuntu. The error I am receiving is:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_python-gcc42-mt
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_thread-gcc42-mt
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
error: command 'c++' failed with exit status 1
make: *** [install] Error 1

I have installed Boost and a few other packages with the word boost in that looked appropriate and yet I still get the same error message. Would anybody know where I can find and install these files?

thanks

You don't need to search for any other files to install PyCUDA. PyCUDA's dependencies will be resolved automatically if you open the terminal and type: 

sudo apt install python-pycuda

python-pycuda is a Python module to access Nvidia‘s CUDA parallel computation API. PyCUDA lets you access Nvidia‘s CUDA parallel computation API from Python.
