1. Program compiled successfully, but when I try to run I get "error while loading shared libraries" relating to Boost and/or METIS.

   This seems to happen if you compiled/install Boost or METIS manually. This is usually necessary with Boost as a specific version (>= 1.57) is required to run the software, which may not be available from your Linux distribution's package manager (e.g. Ubuntu 14.04). Open the /etc/ld.so.conf as root and add a new line with the path to where Boost or METIS was installed (e.g. /usr/local/lib). Then run ldconfig (also as root).
