Endian conversion using boost

Question

I followed the so called manual of boost for converting (swapping) the endian.

Despite their code is more readable than their manual, could some one please explain how I should fix the following code?

hh.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <boost/array.hpp>
#include <boost/endian/conversion.hpp>

int main () {

  std::cout << boost::endian::endian_reverse(5);

  return 0;
}

make:

g++ hh.cpp -o hh -Wall -Wconversion -Wfatal-errors -Wextra -std=c++11 -lboost_system -lrt  -lboost_wave -larmadillo -lboost_thread

error:

hh.cpp:3:39: fatal error: boost/endian/conversion.hpp: No such file or directory
 #include <boost/endian/conversion.hpp>
                                       ^
compilation terminated.

Update

Other boost headers are included fine. Only endian has problem.

ls /usr/include/boost/*

Update

$ cat /usr/include/boost/version.hpp

endian library was introduced in boost version 1.58 . You have 1.54, there is no endian library in this release. You should either update boost to 1.58+, either no use endian library.
