Sure. I'll have a look at the issues.

 Where is libboost_random.so (or a file with a similar name)?  It seems

It seems like libboost_random.so needed to be installed seperately, which I
did. Although, the error for program_options and unit_test_framework still
reaminas. Does this have to do anything with my boost version (1.55.0). In
CMake I saw something which stated some compatiblity issue.

Well here are some of the Data structures I've implemented in that past
using templates.
https://github.com/tejasnikumbh/Datastructures/tree/master/Vector -> Vector
https://github.com/tejasnikumbh/Datastructures/tree/master/Stack -> Stack

I've implemented others too, check out the DataStructures directory if you
have time. If not, do check out the above two. Any suggestions on
improvement are always welcomed. They may not strictly confine to mlpack's
standards, but I am willing to learn , work hard and coding standards
should not be an issue.
