Dear ALPS-users and developers,

While building ALPS from source "alps-2.1.1-r6176-src-with-boost" on a machine with operating system Xubuntu 12.04.5 LTS, I executed the following step in the build directory:

$ cmake -D Boost_ROOT_DIR:PATH=/path/to/boost/directory /path/to/alps/directory

giving the appropriate paths as follows: $ sudo cmake -D Boost_ROOT:DIR=/home/emmy/alps/alps-2.1.1-r6176-src-with-boost/boost/ /home/emmy/alps/alps-2.1.1-r6176-src-with-boost/alps/

The output was as shown below. The errors are mentioned at the end. I'm unable to complete configuration:

I changed the spelling in the command, but to no avail. Please do me a kindness by helping me here.
