Cannot Link Against libboost

[koala12]

Hi, during the build phase of this package I get

...
meanspush.o build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/vlfeat/kmeans/vl_ikmeanspush.o build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/vlfeat/quickshift/vl_quickshift.o build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/vlfeat/py_vlfeat.o -L/home/burak/anaconda/lib -lpython2.7 -o build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7/_vlfeat.so -msse -shared -lboost_python-mt-py26
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_python-mt-py26
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I could not find any references to the missing library above. I did apt-get on libboost-python-dev, but the build won't link against it.

I am on Ubuntu 14, gcc -v shows

gcc version 4.8.4 (Ubuntu 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04)

Thanks,

The INSTALL instructions are out-of-date I believe. This

sudo apt-get install boost-python1.35-dev

did not work. I tried to hack around -lboost_python-mt-py26 problem by replacing it with -lboost_python-py27. Then the link worked, I did sudo python setup.py install, but from ipython, but there are no pyvlfeat packages to import.
