Description
Description
Rather than bundling libraries (e.g., Boost/Eigen) with the Math library, it would be good to add functionality to use the libraries that are already installed on the system.
This will be a first step in packaging cmdstan binaries for linux distros

Research direction
The issue does not identify a source file, build entry point, or test. Start by mapping how bundled Boost and Eigen dependencies are located and included, then determine the packaging requirements for system-installed libraries and headers. Done means Math can reliably use compatible system dependencies while preserving a workable path for CmdStan Linux packages.
