Previously, I had "Installed required packages using Synaptic package manager". For libbost-all-dev, Synaptic manager, installed boost, version 1_55. I faced to the bellow problem and Prof. Synge Todo answered my question that I should install a newer version of boost.(I am so sorry to write some details because I guess I maybe have made a mistake in some steps) the previous problem was:

I uninstalled the boost_1_55 with :

sudo apt-get autoremove libboost-all-dev

and I followed the next lines in order to hope to be able to do ALPS build:

wget -O boost_1_58_0.tar.gz http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.58.0/boost_1_58_0.tar.gz...

tar xzvf boost_1_58_0.tar.gz

cd boost_1_58_0/

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install build-essential g++ python-dev autotools-dev libicu-dev build-essential libbz2-dev

./bootstrap.sh –prefix=/usr/local

sudo ./b2

After these I got a message:

The Boost C++ Libraries were successfully built!

The following directory should be added to compiler include paths:

/home/acerv3-571g/boost_1_58_0

The following directory should be added to linker library paths:

/home/acerv3-571g/boost_1_58_0/stage/lib

I added in the home .bashrc:

export INCLUDE="/home/acerv3-571g/boost_1_58_0:$INCLUDE" export LIBRARY_PATH="/home/acerv3-571g/boost_1_58_0/stage/lib:$LIBRARY_PATH"

and I tried to build ALPS:

acerv3-571g@acerv3571g-Aspire-V3-571G:~/Downloads/build$ make clean acerv3-571g@acerv3571g-Aspire-V3-571G:~/Downloads/build$ make

But this time I faced to:

What is the problem? and how can I resolve that? Thanks for following and help.
