I have been fighting with this one all day! Its my own fault as I'm on a CentOs 5.x distro. Anyway, when trying to run UHD utils I get: ./uhd_usrp_probe --args="addr=192.168.10.2"

[...]

Error: boost::bad_any_cast: failed conversion using boost::any_cast

Given that this error belongs in the code for libboost, maybe try upgrading it?

For comparison purposes on Debian/testing my libboost(-dev) version is 1.49.0 S.

Many thanks for the help and advice. Upgrading to Boost 1.41 has resolved this issue.

Hi Craig,

We recommend to use Ubuntu 10.04 or 12.04, as these are what we're using here for all the development and testing. E.g. we recently discovered that OpenBTS is unstable on some older versions of Fedora, while it is very stable on aforementioned Ubuntu. We're yet to find the reason for this.

In this particular case I recommend you to upgrade to a decent Boost version. On my Ubuntu 12.04 I use Boost 1.48 and it works fine.
