cmake -D Boost_ROOT_DIR:PATH=/path to alps directory/boost -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/storage/alps/2.1.1 /path to alps directory/alps

I ran this and it still didn't work. It is giving me the same errors.

What command do you run exactly? From the log it seems that you do not specify the correct directory for boost

I extracted the download that includes boost. I cd into the un tared directory. In it has two folders, boost and alps. This is where I run the cmake command from.
