Hi :

Thanks for all your replies.

I fixed the problem by :
adding the "-" before I.

(1) removing "/" from the include header file "/boost/mpi/communicator.hpp".
(2) compile it by :
mpic++ -o testp2p test_p2p.cpp -I/lustre/jxding/boost_2010_6_8/boost_1_43_0 -L/lustre/jxding/boost_2010_6_8/boost_1_43_0/stage/lib -lboost_mpi -lboost_serialization
 
(3) The libboost_mpi.a is really in the stage/lib .

How to avoid this kind of simple problem happen again ? 

Actually, I have tried to search for answer online in the past 4 days without finding any hints. 

I really appreciate all of your help.
