I face this error, in linux, does this indicates that I have not build the library correctly? the error is in that line: boost/thread/lock_types.hpp:162:45

This is a header-level error, so the issue is presumably in your compiler settings. (Both unique_lock::try_lock_until and mutex::try_lock_until only exist when BOOST_THREAD_USES_CHRONO is defined, but that shouldn't normally be different in two headers within the same translation unit.) Make sure that your include paths are picking up the expected version of Boost and that you're not accidentally mixing system Boost with local Boost. You can also try generating a preprocessed file by copying the full command line which is currently being used to compile the source with the error, then changing the -c parameter to -E and changing the -o parameter's extension from .o to .i. Then examine the contents of the file to see where it is picking up the various definitions from; this may help locate the source of the issue.
