Dear all,
I had to reinstall my boost version as the cluster environment I'm 
working on has switched from Scientific Linux 6 to CentOS 7.
When I'm now compiling my code including the header "#include 
<boost/program_options>", I will receive the following error message:

or directory
  #   include 
BOOST_PP_STRINGIZE(boost/mpl/aux_/preprocessed/AUX778076_PREPROCESSED_HEADER)
^
compilation terminated.

This fatal error occurs with my own boost installation (version 1.59.0) 
but also with the system default boost (version 1.53.0). It worked 
properly on Scientific Linux 6.
Now, I'm using gcc (GCC) 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-4), CPU codename 
Intel Nehalem EX, LINUX, CENTOS 7.2 environment.

I would be very glad if someone could help me. It seems that somehow the 
AUX778076 parameter defined in 
"boost/1_59_0/include/boost/mpl/times.hpp" is converted to ostimes 
during the compilation:
I've changed, just for testing reasons!, in file 
"/boost/1_59_0/include/boost/mpl/times.hpp" the line "#define 
AUX778076_OP_NAME times" to "#define AUX778076_OP_NAME timestest" and 
then boost is searching for the correct header "timestest.hpp" but in 
the case of "#define AUX778076_OP_NAME times" it is searching for 
"ostimes.hpp" instead of "times.hpp".

Thanks in advance for your help!

Cheers,
Christine
