that was it.
how can i get a jessie version if needed (do I have to build?). Have to check dependencies on the created binaries, if no problem, i can just use stretch to do the builds.
Update: I was able to build from the source. However the ./configure missed that I needed libboost-dev (lucky searching for the missing file, there was already answers in general). It also be nice to tell us it's the -dev packages needed as I was confused for some packages needed, they looked installed, until searching online finding you need the -dev package.
Thanks.
