Installation errors for Nova

[ConfusedInAustin]

Hello. I have been trying to install Nova the last few days and have been plagued with errors. I have tried to install on Ubuntu Server 12.04 and Server 14.04 with the exact same errors. It fails when making Nova. I have attached a portion of the output below.

Do you have the right version of boost installed? NOVA needs 1.48, anything
after breaks compatibility. If it's ld returning a non-zero error code
that's because the linker is unable to find something you're trying to link
to, which will fail the compilation because it can't find the definitions
for (in this case) copy_file method.

You were correct that it was not on version 1.48. I removed version 1.55 and installed 1.48, however it is still producing an error when building novad. This time it differs from the first.
