I wonder at that, but the only change in the dependencies involves the 
boost libraries.

Running from the command line yields this: Could not create GBM EGL 
display: EGL_NOT_INITIALIZED. Aborting..

That definitely is not from boost.

I shall do that. First, I may reboot the machine. It may be an nvidia 
library problem - I can't recall an upgrade recently. There may be an 
interaction among libraries involved.

Thank you
