error while loading shared libraries: libboost_program_options.so.1.65.1

I am using a program called dawg which depends on boost library. I need to run the program on the cluster where I do not have root access. While trying to run the program it returns error as :

/home/masih/Baterial_simulator/dawg_new/my_build/bin/dawg: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_program_options.so.1.65.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I installed the boost 1.65.1 package manually and have put it in the '.bashrc' file as following:

#export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/home/masih/Baterial_simulator/boost_1_65_1/lib/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"

the file ' libboost_program_options.so.1.65.1' exist in the ' /home/masih/Baterial_simulator/boost_1_65_1/lib/lib ' but still I get the error.

I have also tried to include the boost package information while configuring the package by putting the following lines in the 'CMakeLists.txt'

SET (BOOST_ROOT "/home/masih/Baterial_simulator/boost_1_65_1/lib")
SET (BOOST_INCLUDEDIR "/home/masih/Baterial_simulator/boost_1_65_1/lib/include")
SET (BOOST_LIBRARYDIR "/home/masih/Baterial_simulator/boost_1_65_1/lib/lib")

The installation completes without any error but trying to run the program returns the same error again. The cluster is using RedHat OS.

Give the path of directory where your program is running.

For Example:
Below line will direct library-path to your current/program directory.
if already set then use : unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/masih/Baterial_simulator/dawg_new/my_build/bin/dawg:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Note: This command only work when libboost_program_options.so.1.65.1 is installed in system lib path.
If not working then direct your library path to path of your running program. 

 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/masih/Baterial_simulator/boost_1_65_1/lib/lib:/home/masih/Baterial_simulator/dawg_new/my_build/bin/dawg
