I have build boost 1.66.0 from source by using the following commands.

First

Go to the directory tools/build/.
Run bootstrap.sh
Run b2 install --prefix=PREFIX where PREFIX is the directory where you want Boost.Build to be installed
Add PREFIX/bin to your PATH environment variable.

As I am using Eclipse c++ oxygen IDE and as the 4 step I put the path /home/Hussain/boost_1_66_0/lib in the linker Library Search Path (-L)

Second

./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/usr &&
./b2 stage threading=multi link=shared

and then

./b2 install threading=multi link=shared

And added the path /home/Hussain/boost_1_66_0/stage/lib to the linker same as first.

When I compile, the code compiler without complaining. But When I run the exe file I get the error

error while loading shared libraries: libboost_serialization.so.1.66.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

What is the problem?

Same process I have repeated with my earlier system using boost1.65.1 that was working fine.

Which OS? Linux? You probably just need to set `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` or similar. – G.M. Mar 31 '18 at 10:41
@G.M. Yes, Linux – Agaz Wani Mar 31 '18 at 10:43
@G.M. I think I have already added the path as shown above – Agaz Wani Mar 31 '18 at 11:39
No, you've only told the linker where to look at link time. See, for example, [this question](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/168340/where-is-ld-library-path-how-do-i-set-the-ld-library-path-env-variable). – G.M. Mar 31 '18 at 11:59
@G.M. I have also included the path `/home/hussain/boost_1_66_0` in eclipse – Agaz Wani Mar 31 '18 at 12:16
