Hi,

you should probably use LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point the directory in which 
libboost_program_options.so.1.46.1 is placed, e.g.:

---
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/path/to/boost/libs ./infer
---
Alternatively, you could compile 'infer' with 'rpath' linker option (see 
man ld, search for 'rpath' option) to add a given directory (the one 
with boost libs) to runtime library search path of the output ELF file.
WBR,
Adam Romanek
