Thanks for the quick reply! The boost version is 1_64_0. In the project-config.jam file I just added one line at the end:

using mpi ;

For mpi, we have these versions installed as modules:

openmpi/1.8/1.8.4_intel-2015.1.133
IntelMPI/5

And for Intel compiler we have this module:

composer_xe/2015.1.133

I loaded the openmpi and composer modules. But when I type which mpiicc I get:

/usr/bin/which: no mpiicc in (/apps/software/intel/composer_xe_2015.1.133/bin/intel64:/apps/software/openmpi/1.8.4_intel-2015.1.133/bin:)

I then try and build using this command:

./b2 -j20 install --prefix==/home/user/build/boost_1_64_0/libs > error.txt

 I get tons of errors like this:

Hi,

Could you provide the boost version, the project-config.jam file, the
result of "which mpiicc" command and the first error message ?

Thanks

Alain
