Linker error to boost library when catkin_make

[edward9503]

Hi,
I am using Ubuntu 20.04, ROS Noetic. When I tried to install Orocos by following the instructions in readme, and try the catkin_make_isolated --install, following error happened:

==> Processing plain cmake package: 'rtt'
==> Building with env: '/home/bmtsz/orocos/install_isolated/env.sh'
Makefile exists, skipping explicit cmake invocation...
==> make cmake_check_build_system in '/home/bmtsz/orocos/build_isolated/rtt/install'
==> make -j16 -l16 in '/home/bmtsz/orocos/build_isolated/rtt/install'
Use: make docapi dochtml docpdf to build the documentation.

I think it is a linker error with boost. But I don't know what I should do to solve the problem. Many thanks in advance.
