I can tell you that on a fedora/redhat box, you just include the headers and you are away. If you installed the development package group it will be there and you can build c++ programs and use boost out of the box. What distro are you using?

I am able to compile the boost libaray on my linux machines. I am not able to use it.

Is there a simple program I can try to compile to make sure I am doing things correctly.

I'm sorry. its a shortcoming of mine, but I can't do _anything_ until I have a working stub. (or hello_world, or wahtever you want to call it.)

I just need a simple example of how to compile a boost prohram from g++ .

Which library are you wanting to enhance the efficacy of your hello world program with? Most (all?) the boost libs documentation include usage and simple examples.
