The machine in question doesn't have the Boost libraries installed and just 
copying the multi-thread bit and pointing LD_LIBRARY_PATH to it didn't fix 
the problem. The program terminated directly failing to locate the library. 
So I think I can fix this by installing the library unfortunatly I can't do 
that on the 8 way machines :(
