I try to install mongodb client for c++, but get this error message Unable to locate package mongodb-dev, when I do:
$ sudo apt-get install mongodb-dev
even though mongodb-dev seems to exists, judging by this Ubuntu page. So, my question is how to install mongodb-dev?
You should upgrade to 15.04 as soon as possible as 14.10 has reached its End of Life (EOL) yesterday (23rd July, 2015).
Note that mongodb-dev is not available in 14.10, your best bet would be to download the .deb file from launchpad and the install it with :
sudo dpkg -i package_name.deb
Then you need to satisfy the dependency (libboost-dev) with :
sudo apt-get -f install
Otherwise you can use gdebi to do the whole work for you (install gdebi first) :
sudo gdebi package_name.deb
Or open the .deb file with Ubuntu Software Center which will take care of everything for you.
I'll give you the answer just because you asked again after the installation of Ubuntu 15.04
The package mongodb-dev is not longer in the Ubuntu Standard Repositories. The latest release was 2.4.9-1ubuntu2 in Trusty.
