When installing the cytolib Bioconductor package with libboost-filesystem-dev installed (Version: 1.83.0.1ubuntu2 on Ubuntu 24.04.2, R version 4.3.3), I get the following error:

boost/libs/filesystem/src/directory.cpp:1055:17: error: 'void boost::filesystem::directory_entry::assign_with_status(boost::filesystem::path&&, boost::filesystem::file_status, boost::filesystem::file_status)' is private within this context

ChatGPT suggested to change the call assign_with_status to assign in src/boost/libs/filesystem/src/directory.cpp (line1238, public git), and this indeed worked. I am not sure about the consequences of this change. The authors of cytolib may want to check.

Your version of R is old, as is your Bioconductor install. We do not support old versions of packages, so please upgrade to R-4.5.1 and re-install Bioconductor. If the error persists after updating, please let us know.
