Dear Amber experts,
I've just downloaded and installed AmberTools18.
During the configuration I run into the same issue of "Could not link to boost" as referred before in [
http://archive.ambermd.org/201804/0235.html], using Ubuntu 18.04 and the latest libboost-all-dev (1.65.1).
I guess there may be a (harmless) bug in $AMBERHOME/AmberTools/src/configure2 when testing for compiler settings, because the actual packmol_memgen compilation runs OK and the executable is generated.
I'm not a c++ expert but according to StackOverflow the order of arguments given to g++ do matters:

Indeed, changing the following line (30001) in $AMBERHOME/AmberTools/src/configure2:
$cplusplus $cxxflags -lboost_thread -lboost_system -o testp$suffix testp.cpp 2> boost.compile.err
to:
$cplusplus testp.cpp -o testp$suffix $cxxflags -lboost_thread -lboost_system 2> boost.compile.err
overcomes the error messages
Best,
MatÃas
