What is required to ./configure libbitcoin-system? Which library is missing?

0

I want to install libbitcoin-system from source and ./configure exits with

...
checking for boostlib >= 1.62.0... yes
configure: boost_CPPFLAGS : -I/usr/include
configure: boost_ISYS_CPPFLAGS : -isystem/usr/include
configure: boost_LDFLAGS : -L/usr/lib
configure: boost_BUILD_CPPFLAGS : -I/usr/include
checking whether the Boost::Chrono library is available... yes
configure: error: Could not find a version of the library!

Here it says "A minimal libbitcoin build requires boost and libsecp256k1." So I installed libsecp256k1 from source.

Here they say installing boost is not necessary. Which would also correspond with my status message that is checking for boost and answering yes.

So, which library is missing then?


sudo apt-cache search libboost gives a lot and then

libboost1.67-all-dev - Boost C++ Libraries development files (ALL)
libboost1.67-dev - Boost C++ Libraries development files
libboost1.67-doc - Boost.org libraries documentation placeholder
libboost1.67-tools-dev - Boost C++ Libraries development tools
r-cran-bh - (Virtual) GNU R package to provide BH

So I could install this but I don't want to mess up thins. Do I have to install it although the ./configure finds version 1.62.0.


I am doing this on Raspian Buster and I need libbitcoin-system to compile a code in c++ that includes bitcoin/bitcoin.hpp which was probably renamed to bitcoin/system.hpp.
