I've done ./configure and specified the boost location as you suggested, 
to no avail.  I've also tried with boost 1.37.0 (last known working 
version) and still get this error.

This happens pretty late in the make process, and I feel like boost gets 
compiled in/used a lot beforehand.  So maybe this is more a case of a 
broken module or something rather than a systematic issue.  It's also 
worth noting that ./configure reports that boost is in place and happy 
when it does the check.

It might be helpful to know exactly where ld is looking for the boost 
library when it tries to link it in.  Could you shed some light on this, 
or suggest some reading for me to do?  I feel like understanding the 
root of the problem is much more useful than a quick fix.

Thanks!

Mike
