 # REQUIRED means that if the minimum version is not about to be used, an error will occur and compilation will be aborted. Generally it is a good idea to use REQUIRED to avoid cryptic compilation error messages when an incompatible version of Boost is used.
 # If you use any Boost components that have library code that must be linked into your program, you will need to specify COMPONENTS followed by the names of those components.

 If an error occurs, ensure that you load all pre-requisite modules first. Often it is easier to remove all modules, load the required ldwrapper module (which is needed for your programs to work when submitted using sqsub), and the the modules you need to use, e.g.,
-<pre>module purge
+<pre>$ module purge
-module load ldwrapper
+$ module load ldwrapper
-module load gcc/5.1.0
+$ module load gcc/5.1.0
-module load openmpi/gcc-5.1.0/std/1.8.7
