The version of boost and boost-devel packages installed are provided with the native operating system and not provided by a sharcnet module hence they are available by default.
To get the latest version information about the packages do:
rpm -qi boost rpm -qi boost-devel
To get a listing of files for each package do:
rpm -ql boost rpm -ql boost-devel
Unfortunately, these native libraries are usually somewhat out of date, and programs relying on boost libraries may require a later version. Please check the documentation of the package you are trying to link to boost libraries to see which version is the minimum required. If this minimum is later than the native system libraries, you will have to install the newer boost libraries on your own. This should be straightforward but please ask for help if encountering any problems.
