Error: Command 'c++' Failed With Exit Status 1

So I am trying to install Pyv8 by following instruction from https://andrewwilkinson.wordpress.com/2012/01/23/integrating-python-and-javascript-with-pyv8/ sudo aptitude instal

Solution 1:

It is because the version of gcc and g++ is too low for me, as I downgrade it when i install cuda sometime. Just follow the following commands:

$ cd /usr/bin$ rm gcc$ ln -s gcc-5 gcc$ rm g++$ ln -s g++-5 g++

Done.

Solution 2:

I followed the instructions from this link - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1480282#post_11247864 and installed the libboost_thread package which solved the problem. Thank you https://stackoverflow.com/users/440558/joachim-pileborg
