C++ JSON Compiling Issue

Question

I installed the json spirit library on my linux mint machine using sudo apt-get install libjson-spirit-dev. However when I compile my code, I get this error saying:

/usr/include/json_spirit_writer.h:14:40: fatal error: json_spirit_writer_options.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated.

This traces back to this line of code in my program: #include <json_spirit.h>

I am assuming there is some issue with the library I installed? I uninstalled and then reinstalled the library but that did not seem to work. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Help would be much appreciated!

I'm guessing you need to add an include path so that it can find #include jason_spirit_writer_options.h — Son-Huy Pham, Jan 08 '14 at 18:32

You probably need to add /usr/include/ to your include path. If you're using g++ you would do this using the '-I' flag.

Seems to be a bug in Ubuntu-based version the libjson-spirit-dev package (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/json-spirit/+bug/1201764)

Since you're using Linux Mint, I'm guessing that's your issue.
