I installed the c++ boost development libraries using Ubuntu software centre. The problem is that it was quite a long time ago and I cannot remember where they are installed nor what version they were. Is there anything I can do from the command line that will tell me what version(s) I have installed on my system?? I know I can do things like

gcc -v

to get version of an application but is there a similar thing available for libraries? I am using ubuntu 12.04
