title: Uninstall boost and install another version
body: <p>I've installed the boost libraries on Linux Mint 12 using the command <code>sudo apt-get install libboost-dev libboost-doc</code>, which installs the default version available in the repositories. However, the project I have to do needs the 1.44 version of boost. How do I uninstall the default (current) version 1.46 and install 1.44?</p>
  
  <p>I couldn't find the documentation on the <a href="http://www.boost.org/" rel="noreferrer">boost website</a> to install boost from the <code>.tar.gz</code> package.</p>
