Upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04 and now ptsminer won't run.

yeah, just recompile it with the latest version and it will work

you need to recompiling ptsminer and protoshares-qt

I just saw the 14.04 upgrade notification on my laptop.  I opted for no.

I would google around and find the right repo that has boost 1.53.  I recall having to install it from other repositories before. It just isn't in the default repositories, so you'll need to add the repo before you can apt-get install it.

I'm a bit of a Linux novice. I'm not sure what you mean by "find the right repo". How do I do that?

 When I try to run it I get:

./ptsminer: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_system.so.1.53.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Poking around, it looks like the upgrade to Ubuntu 14.04 caused an upgrade of libboost to 1.54.0. Can ptsminer run with the newer version of libboost? If so, How?

I tried installing 1.53 using apt-get but it fails.
E: Unable to locate package libboost1.53-dev-all
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libboost1.53-dev-all'

Also, protoshares-qt fails to start, for what I assume are similar reasons.
