Comment (by Madda):

 Hi,

 I manages to solve the problem, but in a very unclean way.
 The file /usr/lib/libboost_program_options-mt.so is existing.

 What I did is to remove the boost installed with the ubuntu packages, and
 to install from scratch boost-1.54. I installed them in /usr/local/boost/
 , so in /usr/local/include/boost/ I have the headers and in /usr/local/lib
 the .so files.

 I tried to compile the mlpack with: ccmake -D BOOST_ROOT=/ust/local/boost
 ,but I still had the same problems.

 So I went into CMakeCache.txt and saw that:
 Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS:FILEPATH=/usr/lib
 Boost_PROGRAM_OPTIONS_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/usr/lib/libboost_program_options-
 mt.so
 Boost_PROGRAM_OPTIONS_LIBRARY_DEBUG:FILEPATH=/usr/lib
 /libboost_program_options-mt.so
 Boost_PROGRAM_OPTIONS_LIBRARY_RELEASE:FILEPATH=/usr/lib
 /libboost_program_options-mt.so

 I modified these lines:
 Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS:FILEPATH=/usr/local/lib
 Boost_PROGRAM_OPTIONS_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/usr/local/lib/libboost_program_options.so
 Boost_PROGRAM_OPTIONS_LIBRARY_DEBUG:FILEPATH=/usr/local/lib/libboost_program_options.so
 Boost_PROGRAM_OPTIONS_LIBRARY_RELEASE:FILEPATH=/usr/local/lib/libboost_program_options.so

 (In /usr/local/lib/ there is no libboost_program_options-mt.so but only
 libboost_program_options.so)

 And then it compiles without errors. I think this is not the appropriate
 way!!!!

 Do you have any suggestion on how to do it in the correct way?

 Thanks a lot!
 Madda
