how to compile without boost

[LeeYangLBLBCS]

I tried to compile ADPandABlocks on Ubuntu20.04. I got the following error. It looks like boost is required to compile? Is it possible to compile without boost?

thanks.

I was able to build this on ubuntu 20.04 without boost installed by removing this line from configure/CONFIG_SITE.linux-x86_64.Common

BOOST=/usr
