We have observed that running the v11.0 demo on Ubuntu 14.04 using the binary distribution does not work. The binary distribution of v11.0 was built on CentOS 7.

This is the error message:

This issue has been traced to a problem building boost with Unicode support in the CentOS 7 machine used for building the binary. We are looking at alternative ways to build boost without Unicode.

See ticket LSST DM-4006.

This problem is fixed. The lsst-v11.0 for Linux was built on CentOS 7 without support for Unicode for boost and it works on Ubuntu 14.04.
