Boost libraries can be found in /usr/local/boost???? where ???? is the version number.

If you need a newer version, you can compile it within your home directory or ask for it to be installed centrally on the hpc.

Example for version 1.39.0

/usr/local/boost1.39.0

To use in your compiling

LDFLAGS=" -L/usr/local/boost1.39.0/lib " CPPFLAGS=" -I/usr/local/boost1.39.0/include " make

OR

export LDFLAGS=" -L/usr/local/boost1.39.0/lib "
CPPFLAGS=" -I/usr/local/boost1.39.0/include "
make

OR
